This one, like Puerto de Las Palomas, is a beautiful climb. Excellent road surface. This is also quite regular and the views are beautiful. Only encountered a few cars's here too. I do not quite understand my previous reviewer. The whole region is relatively traffic... read more

I don't know when that person from Belgium did the climb ( I think during a big party in Benamahoma or Grazalema. I have done the climb many times because I live in El Bosque. We ourselves offer this climb on our cycling vacation The White Villages and Sierra Grazalema. This is really recommended for everyone

Ik weet niet wanneer die persoon uit België de beklimming heeft gedaan ( ik denk tijdens een groot feest in Benamahoma of Grazalema. Ik heb de klim al heel vaak gedaan omdat ik in El Bosque woon. Wij zelf bieden deze beklimming aan op onze fietsvakantie De Witte Dorpen en Sierra Grazalema. Dit is echt een aanrader voor iedereen

Deze is net als Puerto de Las Palomas een prachtige klim. Prima wegdek. Ook deze is vrij regelmatig en de uitzichten zijn prachtig. Ook hier maar een paar auto's tegen gekomen. Ik begrijp mijn voorgaande reviewer niet helemaal. De gehele regio is relatief verkeersarm. Zeker in vergelijking met Nederland, Belgie of Frankrijk. Maar ben je in de buurt; ook deze even meepakken!

Puerto de EL BOYAR.
From the village of El Bosque, on the road that connects this village with Benamahoma, about 4 km and especially with Grazalema.
ATTENTION:
- THERE IS NO ARCENES
- MUCHO, MUCHO, MUCHO TRAFFIC in both directions, is the only road that connects these populations.
Another Puerto to go ENJOYING THE LANDSCAPE, in this one with much MORE OVER, in many occasions we go through coniferous forests......
We will also find many cyclists, most of them road cyclists.
We recommend leaving, to warm up, from the road that goes to Ubrique, at about 272 m altitude, climb towards El Bosque (335 m) and from there in about 3 / 4 km to reach the junction with Benamahoma, and we have already climbed some ramp with a 10 %, and we have descended , big break about 3 %, to face at km 5, / 5,5 a first horseshoe, at the exit of this village , which we have not entered, HERRADURA TREMENDA, DEL 10 / 11 %....which tells us that from here the climb will be much harder.
At km 7 we reach an area called Los Llanos, where we can drink from a SOURCE, we continue uphill hard towards km 9, from where we will see the maximum altitude of these mountain ranges: El Torreón, we can say that from here the slope will always be very close to 10 % of slope.
We pass the last curve and we see the 1189 m sign, where most of us take a picture, after about 810 m of ascent, after 14,5 km.... and an average of about 7 %.
From here we can do several things, go down about 3 km and climb for about 4 km towards Las Palomas, to descend towards Zahara de la Sierra..... continue towards Grazalema, and from there we continue towards Villaluenga del Rosario and Benacoaz (climbing another 3 passes), and from the junction that goes towards Ubrique head towards the exit, towards El Bosque, already a slight climb to another small pass, but MUCH MORE TRAFFIC, although there is a good shoulder.

Review Carlos Ocana Ruiz

Puerto de EL BOYAR.
Desde la población de El Bosque, por la carretera que comunica esta pueblo con Benamahoma, a unos 4 km y sobre todo con Grazalema.
ATENCIÓN:
- NO HAY ÁRCENES
- MUCHO, MUCHO, MUCHO TRÁFICO en ambos sentidos, es la única carretera que comunica estas poblaciones.
Otro Puerto para ir DISFRUTANDO DEL PAISAJE, en éste con bastante MÁS SOBRA, en muchas ocasiones vamos atravesando bosques de coníferas……
También encontraremos numerosos ciclistas, la mayoría de carretera
Recomendamos salir, para ir calentando, desde la carretera que va hacia Ubrique, a unos 272 m de altitud, subir hacia El Bosque ( 335 m) y ya desde allí en unos 3 / 4 km llegar al cruce con Benamahoma, y ya hemos subido alguna rampa con un 10 %, y hemos bajado , gran descanso unos 3 %, para encarar en el km 5, / 5,5 una primera herradura, a la salida de este pueblo , al que no hemos entrado, HERRADURA TREMENDA, DEL 10 / 11 %....que nos dice que desde aquí la subida será mucho más dura.
En el Km 7 llegamos a una zona denominada Los Llanos, donde podemos beber de una FUENTE, continuamos en dura subida hacia el km 9, desde donde veremos la altitud máxima de estas sierras: El Torreón, podemos decir que desde aquí la pendiente será siempre muy cercana a los 10 % de pendiente.
Pasamos la última curva y ya vemos el rótulo de los 1189 m, donde la mayoría nos hacemos una foto, tras unos 810 m de desnivel subidos, tras 14,5 km….y una media en torno al 7 %.
Desde aquí podemos hacer varias cosas, bajar unos 3 km y subir durante unos 4 km hacia Las Palomas, para descender hacia Zahara de la Sierra…..seguir hacia Grazalema, y desde allí continuamos hacia Villaluenga del Rosario y Benacoaz ( subiendo otros 3 puertos), y desde el cruce que va hacia Ubrique dirigirnos hacia la salida, hacia El Bosque, ya una ligera subida a otro puertecillo, pero MUCHO MÁS TRÁFICO, aunque hay buen arcén.
