The Despiernacaballos port is like going from night to day, from shade to sun due to the change in light between the valley of the Madera River and Cañada Hermosa. The landscape also undergoes a notable change due to the difference in height that exists between one area and another.
The route is made of asphalt which helps to appreciate each and every one of the curves that give this area its name: despiernacaballos.

The climb is very demanding but with incredible views below La Toba, a beautiful place and above the canyon, also spectacular.

Before reaching the Río Segura gorge and after a road that ``glides over the top of the Sierra del Almorchón, the spectacular curves that look like balconies hanging over the Río Segura itself! Impressive views.
