The port of Peña Negra, on its north face, starts from the town of Piedrahita, at the turnoff to Pesquera. Already in the same streets of Piedrahita the slopes stabilize around 5-6%, which will be the usual trend. Because Peña Negra, as can be seen in the altimetric profile, is a really regular port, except for a few short breaks in the second half.

A large port, 15 km long if we start from Piedrahita, and with a constant slope of 6% except for a couple of short sections that are less and some sections that reach 9%, but very punctual. The condition of the asphalt is good, it is one of the few ports in the area with a surface in good condition. Upstairs it has very good views and there are usually people doing paragliding (if the weather conditions allow it)

Beautiful views, on a good day you can see people taking off on paragliders.
