At this point we arrive at Collado Mangueta, surely with our legs well loaded from kilometers of ascent. Here we have other impressive views of the other side of the Sierra. At this point we can decide whether to go up through the restricted area with no access to the top at the same Military Base, where they will surely recommend us to leave the place or turn around.

Even though the summit of Espuña is a military restricted area and you can't plan the climb in Komoot, you can (and should) drive almost all the way up to the summit - it's worth it. In winter it can get very cold - it's the north side without any sun!
