シエラノルテデグアダラマの峠・トップ13

アルト・デル・レオンから出発し、アルシプレステまたはロス・ロミートスへの道まで下る美しいトレイル。

It's a classic climb in the Vuelta a España and in cyclotourism events like the Perico Delgado ride. The switchbacks section is very demanding: The first 4 km are gentle (2-3%). From the Puente de la Cantina (Cantina Bridge), ramps of 6-7% begin. Between km 6 and 8 are the five tightest bends, almost linked together, in a wooded area. The final kilometer has a steep ramp before reaching the summit.

They are located on the Segovia side of the Navacerrada Pass, on the CL-601 road (formerly the N-601), which connects La Granja de San Ildefonso with the pass. Approximate altitude: between 1,400 m and 1,700 m. There are seven hairpin bends that traverse the foothills of the Sierra de Guadarrama mountain range. Total length of the pass on this side: 13.6 km, with a 669 m elevation gain and an average gradient of 4.9%. The steepest ramps are in the switchbacks, with gradients of 6-8% and occasional sections reaching 9%. Summit at the Navacerrada Pass (1,856 m).

The Siete Revueltas are one of the most iconic sections of the road that ascends to the Navacerrada Pass. This section consists of seven hairpin bends, one after the other, marking the final and toughest part of the climb from the Segovia side.

Another port in Los Montes Carpetanos for the passage between the provinces of Madrid and Segovia.

From Puerto Linera, at 1834m altitude, you can see part of the Lozoya Valley, the Cabrera mountain range, highlighting the Pico de la Miel, the Riosequillo reservoir, Buitrado and Villavieja. Behind us is the province of Segovia, where we can see, among others, the town of Matabuena. The name "linera" is perhaps due to the large amount of linen that was sold from the Buitrago region to the towns of Pedraza and surrounding areas. The port has a cairn of stones much larger than those that delimit the terms, since, according to tradition, it was customary to throw a stone every time you passed from one side to the other to make it more visible when there was snow, blizzards or fog. , and prevent passers-by from getting lost.

The Cruz de la Gallega is a landmark on the route to the Matabueyes hill, located in the Valsaín mountains, near the Royal Site of San Ildefonso in the province of Segovia.

The landscapes and the air you breathe here are incredible.
