We hand-made it to the Castillo de Los Rojas.
The road had become very narrow and steep; we had to evaluate our onward journey.
We decided over lunch that we would continue having come up this far.
After lunch, we had good views of the Sierra de la Testa in the Province of Burgos. This province hosts a healthy population of Wolves. The information we have been given estimated
twenty-eight packs, numbering between 140 and 196 Wolves.
As we stopped to take this photograph, we saw a considerable-sized animal crossing the road some distance ahead of us.
At first, we thought it was a Fox, but then we realized its size—this was a large animal. It was our first-ever sighting of an Iberian Wolf. By the way, it marked the territory. It must have been a Male, as they are more commonly seen; females, it appears, are much scarcer. We just stood in a state of disbelief as it looked back and then disappeared over the hillside.
