    To get to Puerto del Rey (1,132 m) we have to climb quite hard, also on a gravel road. This port was an important mountain pass during the Modern Age from the Plateau towards Andalusia.
    It is located within the Despeñaperros natural park, a protected space, excavated by the Despeñaperros river. Resting after the good climb, you can enjoy the typical flora of the entire Sierra Morena, especially holm oaks, cork oaks and pines.

      This place is spectacular since you can enjoy beautiful views of the Sierra Morena, being almost the limit of Andalucia and Castilla la Mancha.

        Before the current opening of the Despeñaperros pass that occurred at the end of the 18th century and beginning of the 19th century with the arrival of the French to Spain, this port acquired important relevance some time ago, a consequence of the pass that connected Andalusia with the Castilian plateau.
