The exit from Gor has a short warm-up to the Cerrillo de la Horca viewpoint, which seems strategically placed for a stop and a breather. The views are worth it, the last glimpse of the deserts of the Granada plateau. The road continues through the lush valley of the Gor River, passes the hamlet of Los Apolos, and the paved road ends at the houses of Las Juntas. The next section is a long climb along well-surfaced forest tracks and a few kilometers of paved road at the end in Calar Alto. It's important to keep the route track because there are many crossroads and signs indicating different spots and places of interest in the Sierra de Baza Natural Park. The steepest slopes are in the first few kilometers, followed by an entertaining climb along the slopes of the mountain range between pines and holm oaks, overlooking the great abyss of the Hoya del Marquesado, a huge depression that separates the Baza and Filabres mountain ranges from the great wall of the Sierra Nevada.

If heading to the mountains enjoy the amazing fountain in Gor and fill up at the local cafes.
