The track ends at the Puerto de los Pilones (1,710 m), a meeting point for old cattle ranches and a center for mountain activities. In a fenced col there is a restored snow well in memory of the traditional professions of other times. In the port there is a panel to interpret the landscape. And in the background the silhouette of the Torrecilla and Alcazaba peaks. The lane goes up to the left towards some nearby antennas. The route continues straight ahead to the northeast along the path of the snow well and the Torrecilla. The path goes through a pretty gall, passes through the snow pit and a fork marked with paint appears. You have to follow the path to the left. The path on the right is the Torrecilla hiking route. This section is complicated to pass while sitting on the bicycle, it requires technique and expertise, then the path enters the valley of the Carnicerías stream and improves, but the difficulties continue until it overcomes a small slope and begins the descent down the slope of the Peñón de lovers.

The Saucillo pass is located at an altitude of 1,200 metres, and has a viewpoint that allows you to enjoy magnificent views of several Malaga mountain ranges and the coast. Framed in a setting dotted with pine trees, it is one of the gateways to the Torrecilla peak route.
