I have just completed this climb and I loved it! I started at the train station in Guadalajara and continued along the N-320, also known as Carretera de Cuenca. Although the route starts with a very busy stretch of traffic and in some areas a narrow hard shoulder and I think a couple of areas of a few metres with no hard shoulder, which can be a bit stressful at least for me, the situation improves significantly once you take the road to Brihuega (CM-2005). From there on, the traffic slows down ... read more

I have just completed this climb and I loved it! I started at the train station in Guadalajara and continued along the N-320, also known as Carretera de Cuenca. Although the route starts with a very busy stretch of traffic and in some areas a narrow hard shoulder and I think a couple of areas of a few metres with no hard shoulder, which can be a bit stressful at least for me, the situation improves significantly once you take the road to Brihuega (CM-2005). From there on, the traffic slows down considerably, so much so that you are practically riding on the road alone. The initial stretch with heavy traffic lasts about 17 km, but it is well worth the effort. The climb itself is pleasant, with a picturesque village at the beginning of the pass and our final destination, with only 75 inhabitants according to wikipedia 🙃 The descent is especially fun thanks to the numerous zigzags that make it exciting. Overall, a recommended route for those looking for a moderate challenge and to enjoy the scenery. There is a stone fountain half way up, I didn't check if it was drinkable, I didn't stop, in the village there is also a fountain in the children's park, there I did drink and I'm still alive. 😅

Acabo de completar esta ascensión y me encantó! Comencé en la estación de tren de Guadalajara y seguí por la N-320, también conocida como Carretera de Cuenca. Aunque la ruta comienza con un tramo de tráfico muy intenso y en algunas zonas arcén estrecho y creo q un par de zonas de pocos metros sin arcén, lo que puede resultar un poco estresante al menos para mí, la situación mejora significativamente una vez que se toma la carretera hacia Brihuega (CM-2005). A partir de ahí, el tráfico se reduce notablemente, tanto que practicamente vas sólo por la carretera. El tramo inicial con tráfico intenso dura unos 17 km, pero merece la pena el esfuerzo. La ascensión en sí misma es agradable, con un pueblo pintoresco que se ve a inicio de puerto y nuestro destino final, cuenta con solo 75 habitantes según wikipedía 🙃.El descenso es especialmente divertido gracias a los numerosos zigzags que lo hacen emocionante. En general, una ruta recomendable para aquellos que buscan un desafío moderado y disfrutar del paisaje. Hay una fuente de piedra a mitad de ascensión, no me fijé si era potable, no paré, en el pueblo también hay una fuente en el parque para niños, ahí si bebí y sigo vivo. 😅
