The bridge located in Moñibas (Segovia) is a small stone bridge, very characteristic of traditional Castilian rural architecture.

It's a classic climb in the Vuelta a España and in cyclotourism events like the Perico Delgado ride. The switchbacks section is very demanding: The first 4 km are gentle (2-3%). From the Puente de la Cantina (Cantina Bridge), ramps of 6-7% begin. Between km 6 and 8 are the five tightest bends, almost linked together, in a wooded area. The final kilometer has a steep ramp before reaching the summit.

They are located on the Segovia side of the Navacerrada Pass, on the CL-601 road (formerly the N-601), which connects La Granja de San Ildefonso with the pass. Approximate altitude: between 1,400 m and 1,700 m. There are seven hairpin bends that traverse the foothills of the Sierra de Guadarrama mountain range. Total length of the pass on this side: 13.6 km, with a 669 m elevation gain and an average gradient of 4.9%. The steepest ramps are in the switchbacks, with gradients of 6-8% and occasional sections reaching 9%. Summit at the Navacerrada Pass (1,856 m).

The name comes from the stone boundary markers erected in the 18th century to demarcate lands acquired by Charles III for hunting. During the Spanish Civil War, it was a strategic area with a Republican detachment stationed there. It formerly housed the Valcotos ski resort, which no longer exists.

The Siete Revueltas are one of the most iconic sections of the road that ascends to the Navacerrada Pass. This section consists of seven hairpin bends, one after the other, marking the final and toughest part of the climb from the Segovia side.

There's a fountain as you reach the top on the right. Follow the cobblestone path.

Place between Segovia and Guadalajara that is the starting point for many routes.

The Segovia Aqueduct is an impressive architectural structure dating back to the 1st century AD and was built by the Romans during their occupation of Hispania. Its main function was to supply water to the city of Segovia, transporting it from the mountains to the city centre. The aqueduct carries water from the Fuenfría spring, located in the mountains about 17 kilometres from the city, to the centre of Segovia. The water is collected in a cistern called El Caserón and then carried through a channel of ashlars to a second tower known as Casa de Aguas. After travelling for more than 15 km, it reaches the city. The Segovia Aqueduct is a heraldic symbol of the city and one of the most impressive works that the Romans left behind in their vast empire. If you ever have the chance to visit it, I highly recommend you do. It's truly amazing! 😊🏛️
