A deserted road that hasn't been repaired in decades—overgrown, potholes, and untidy boulders. The road is easily passable and free of cars. No traffic at night! There are some sections that can be dangerous in poor visibility. It's well-suited for trekking bikes, mountain bikes, and gravel bikes, but not so much for road bikes. Plenty of shade in the afternoon. A good and very scenic alternative to the main road.

A deserted mountain road that is no longer maintained. Even though nature is slowly reclaiming the road, it's still pleasant to ride, even with a fully loaded bike.

The road is home to many lizards that sun themselves on the asphalt and quickly scurry away as soon as you approach on your bike. Great views are guaranteed here, too.
