ベセミルデラシエラの峠・トップ17

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 name comes from the stone boundary markers erected in the 18th century to demarcate lands acquired by Charles III for hunting. During the Spanish Civil War, it was a strategic area with a Republican detachment stationed there. It formerly housed the Valcotos ski resort, which no longer exists.

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.

There's a fountain as you reach the top on the right. Follow the cobblestone path.

The Collado de los Pastores is a beautiful landmark in the Sierra de Guadarrama, located in the area of La Pedriza, near Manzanares el Real, in the Community of Madrid. This hill offers stunning panoramic views of the region, including the Bola del Mundo, the Cuerda Larga and the granite Pedriza. One of the popular routes to reach the Collado de los Pastores begins at the Canto Cochino car park. From there, you ascend the Cuerda de los Porrones, passing by the Mirador de la Pedriza, until you reach the hill.

Collado de los Pastores, located in La Pedriza at 1750m, is an excellent place to enjoy the best views of La Pedriza in its entirety. It is right at the base of Pico de la Maliciosa.
