The turnoff itself, in my opinion, isn't a highlight, but it's a very important junction for planning. The northwestern route is a secondary road closed to car traffic, so you can ride quite relaxed and "alone" with other cyclists and the occasional hiker. The southeastern route is the main road, where all the car traffic heads into the tourist area. I would definitely avoid the main road (there are lots of aggressive tourists who pass you quickly and closely). The exit on the main road is better if you want to go very fast.

If we continue to the left we will go towards Hoya de la Mora and Pico Veleta. To the right we would go down to the ski station or to the A-395 road to go towards Granada.
