Nice climb to the Cruz Verde pass where you climb past the village of Zarzalejo. The only downside is that to get to the foot you have to drive a bit on the busier road between El Escorial and Valdemorillo.

Leuke beklimming naar de pas van Cruz Verde waarbij je langs het dorp Zarzalejo klimt. Het enige minpunt is dat je om aan de voet te geraken een stuk over de drukkere baan tussen El Escorial en Valdemorillo moet rijden.
