Located on the forest track that connects Peguerinos with San Lorenzo de El Escorial, it has been crowned on several occasions by the Cycling Tour of Spain, this border port between Madrid and Ávila rewards us for the effort of the climb with amazing views of the community of Madrid. The ideal place to take a souvenir photo and enjoy the summit.

The port of Malagón, also known as Alto de Abantos or Puerto de San Juan de Malagón, is a mountain pass located in the southwest area of the Sierra de Guadarrama (mountain belonging to the Central System). It has an altitude of 1590 meters and separates the Spanish provinces of Madrid and Ávila. The regional road that crosses it connects the municipalities of San Lorenzo de El Escorial (Madrid) and Peguerinos (Ávila). To the west of the port extends the Malagón mountain range, which gives it its name. The mountain pass is located on the southern slope of Mount Abantos, which is why it constitutes the starting point of a path that leads to the top of said mountain.
