    Before reaching the Río Segura gorge and after a road that ``glides over the top of the Sierra del Almorchón, the spectacular curves that look like balconies hanging over the Río Segura itself! Impressive views.

      Despiernacaballos is a hard and unique climb that connects the Segura river valley with Cañada Hermosa and the road to Santiago de la Espada or Pontones.
      But that is not all; It allows you to suffer during the ascent and enjoy the views of the Segura river valley at every turn. A true privilege reserved for a few intrepid 💪
