Location
In the wilds, about 200 meters from a path, about 2 km from a road, about 10 km from La Adrada.

Expedition
I was just back from a vacation to Germany. I had not traveled there for quite some time for well known reasons, therefore I had a lot to accomplish and not much spare time. I was nevertheless always checking the local geohashes, but they were all relatively far and would have needed more time than I could spend.
So, now back in Spain I was keen to resume geohashing. The location was relatively close and I had already traveled most of the route on the expedition 2021-05-29 40 -5 and therefore I knew that it were good quality roads with scenic views. I just couldn't find out if there was a parking place for Wendy where the paved road ended and if the geohash was publicly accessible, but I wanted to give it a try.
The last 10 km of the ride were new to me and partly a bit bumpy, but OK. Fortunately, it turned out that I could easily park Wendy at the beginning of the unpaved path. While walking in the heat, I was thinking about getting a “hash motorcycle” with some off road capability.
When I reached the closest point on my path to the geohash, it became clear that it was behind a stone wall with some barb wire on top. But there was a slip through that had obviously already been used by several other people, so I dared to squeeze through. After walking 200 further meters through the wilds with high grass, bushes and trees, I finally reached the geohash.
I made my way back to the bike through the heat and enjoyed a relaxed ride home. Comparing it to Germany, I really appreciated the little traffic I have to face here in central Spain (outside of Madrid, that is).

Parking place for Wendy at the beginning of the unpaved path. I could ride on (legally) with a motorcycle providing a bit more off road capability.
On the about 2 km walk, in quite some heat.
Others seeking shelter from the Sun.
The geohash is on the other side, but here I can squeeze through.
About 200 meters to walk in the wilds.
This passage comes in handy.
The geohash should be near the tree.
Here we are.
View from the geohash.
On the way back, I have lost a bit direction, so this is a different, slightly tighter slip through, but it will do.
