You should have warm clothes with you.

As high as you can go by bike around here. The air is pretty thin here, in the Alps I never had any problems up to almost 3000m, here the altitude sickness started just below the summit. When the sun goes down it gets pretty cold pretty quickly, and windy (that's why the mountain is called the "weathervane"). Definitely worth the effort in good conditions, but a ride up here is not to be taken lightly. At the end of the public street there are various snack bars, so it makes sense to get something to eat. Behind it, minibuses may drive through the sometimes tight curves, so be careful here as well.

Two ascents are possible, coming from Granada primarily over asphalt or from Capileira over gravel (much steeper). Warm spare clothing is mandatory, as the weather can change. Very ingenious driveway with a fantastic view.
