Sometimes known as Abantos, for which it is the "prologue" this port of the Sierra connects El Escorial with Peguerinos and is the gateway to this part of the Sierra.

Very nice climb, it doesn't matter where you do it, you're going to clench your teeth because of the unevenness, affordable, and with views that are well worth it. In addition, you cross into Ávila relatively comfortably without many cars.
