Road in perfect condition to the town, with hard shoulder and vertical and horizontal signage. Once this is passed, the road narrows, with somewhat rough asphalt, although in perfect condition. Ascent devoid of shadows and with little traffic up to the town and non-existent from there.

The Puerto de Pedro Bernardo is the younger brother of the Puerto de Serranillos. Almost every time this port has been climbed in a professional race it is linked to the Puerto de Serranillos, only the second being considered a port. However, the Puerto de Pedro Bernardo is in itself a hill where you can go from the valley where the CL-501 road runs (where the town with the same name is located) to the valley of the Puerto de Pico, where Esteban del Valle and Mombeltrán are located.
The chain with Serranillos is the most typical, as I said previously, although it is also worth chaining it with the Puerto de la Centenera or the Puerto del Pico.
The road is rough, with hardly any shoulder and very little traffic.
It is a very pleasant port to climb... as long as the heat is not suffocating.

The Pedro Bernardo Pass is one of the classic climbs in the Sierra de Gredos mountains, highly prized by cyclists and a regular feature of races like the Vuelta a España.

First section: Up to the village (Pedro Bernardo), with gradients of 5-6%, a road in good condition, and spectacular views of the Tiétar Valley.
Urban section: In the village, the gradient eases, even offering some flatter sections.
Second section: After the village, the asphalt becomes rougher, and the toughest kilometer (7-8%) appears, followed by a "balcony" section with incredible views and a sustained 5% gradient to the summit.
