Beautiful climb in a very quiet area, with views over the region. I rode this climb halfway up and turned left at the junction to descend to El Berrueco. However, this region next to the Sierra is not recommended in summer as it is very hot here and with the low bushes you have little shelter from the blistering sun.

Beautiful climb in a very quiet area, with views over the region. I rode this climb halfway up and turned left at the junction to descend to El Berrueco. However, this region next to the Sierra is not recommended in summer as it is very hot here and with the low bushes you have little shelter from the blistering sun. In October 2022, however, cycling here was fine.

Mooie beklimming in een zeer rustig gebied, met vergezichten over de streek. Ik reed deze klim tot halfweg en sloeg aan de kruising linksaf om af te dalen naar El Berrueco. Deze regio naast de Sierra is echter af te raden in de zomer want dan is het hier erg warm en heb je met de lage bosjes weinig beschutting tegen de blakende zon. In oktober 2022 was het hier wel prima fietsen.
