Great port where the neocyclist is persona non grata

A legendary mountain pass in the Vuelta a España and in the Gredos mountain range, along with Serranillos, Peña Negra, Pedro Bernardo, and Puerto del Pico. It's a namesake of Serranillos, as it connects the same valleys, running parallel.
Like Serranillo, it's a pass with a gentle, continuous gradient and uneven, bumpy asphalt, which is typical of this area. A pass of thermal contrasts: in winter, you're freezing cold, and in summer, you can die of heat.
