Are you sure? We left the Laguna Grande Route a bit below Mirador de la Peña del Rayo and this was taken about halfway up to Morezon. Both guidebook and map claim that this is Trocha Real.

Re: This pic...

OK Gangolf. I thought it was taken lower than that, near Peña Rayo. Anyway, I think that there are almost no remains of Trocha Real on Morezón ascent by that side, over Majada Adrián. They are on the other one (SE) and on Cerro de la Cagarruta NE flank. Trocha Real is usually well built as a paved stones' trail. Its best sections are on the way from Laguna Grande to Portilla del Rey heading to Circo de Cinco Lagunas.

You are right, at this point nothing remains to be seen of Trocha Real. But a little later, just before the Morezon ascent turns off you can see short sections of the old path. I haven't been in Portilla del Rey - too much snow :-(

Yep, those remains are on Altos del Morezón NE side, starting just below Col 2252 and ending near Manantiales de las Pozas.
