The Alto de Mostelares is the highest point on the meseta section, though the climb from Castrojeriz is less daunting than it looks from below. The first stretch is steep, but it levels off quickly. From the top, the view looking back toward Castrojeriz and the plain beyond is more impressive than what lies ahead.
A shelter at the summit provides shade. The descent on the far side is steep at first, then eases as you approach the shaded picnic area before the Ermita de San Nicolás.
The descent from the alto follows a resurfaced track, steep at first then gentler. Between the alto and the Ermita de San Nicolás there's a shaded picnic area — the only real shade on this stretch.
