Highly recommended if you’re fit. If you’re just giving it a go, it’s not an easy climb. Quite a lot of traffic, especially at weekends. There’s hardly any hard shoulder, but the cars don’t go very fast. The road surface is in pretty good condition.... read more

The road surface is in pretty good condition.

Muy recomendable si estas entrenado. Si vas a probar, no es una subida fácil.
Bastante trafico, especialmente los fines de semana. No hay casi arcén, pero los coches no van a mucha velocidad.
El asfalto esta bastante bien.

A must-see if you’re from the mountains. Best to go during the week, and even better at sunset for the descent… A spectacle of lights and colours

Imprescindible si eres de la sierra. Mejor entre semana e incluso, al atardecer para bajar... Un espectáculo de luces y colores

Carried out on 07 July in the afternoon. It was a very hot 43°C. Not necessarily steep roads, but the heat really dampened things down. A beautiful climb!

Effectuée le 07 juillet dans l'après-midi. Il faisait vraiment très chaud 43°c. Pas forcément des routes pentues mais la chaleur affaibli vraiment. Une belle montée !!

The first half of this climb to the Puerto de Navacerrada along Navacerrada is busy in car traffic, but less crowded than if you start from Collado Villalba. The second part must be done once, although climbs to the Puerto de Navacerrada from the other side of the Sierra (La Granja or Rascafría) are much quieter.

De eerst helft van deze beklimming naar de Puerto de Navacerrada langs Navacerrada is druk in autoverkeer, maar minder druk dan wanneer je vertrekt uit Collado Villalba. Het tweede deel moet je eens gedaan hebben, al zijn beklimmingen naar de Puerto de Navacerrada vanaf de andere kant van de Sierra (La Granja of Rascafría) veel rustiger.
