    Tips

    Road cycling

    Prepare to climb. The road begins to climb as soon as you leave Hornos. Beautiful beginning of the path angling between the trees. The final 5.4km stretch begins as you pass a stone ruin. The difference in altitude is 510m at an average of 6% until reaching El Yelmo at 1780m above sea level.

    Mountain biking

    From the highway, next to a building, a narrow road leads off, with many potholes at first.
    There's only one turnoff (left) a few kilometers later, to Robledo. The other takes you directly to the summit.
    At the end, the gradient increases.
    Once at the top, the views are impressive. From the guardhouse, you can see half the Sierra, and on the opposite side of the guardhouse, the other half.
