ホヨスデルコラードの峠・トップ6

The Navarredonda de Gredos Stargazing Viewpoint is one of the most outstanding spots for astronomical observation in the Sierra de Gredos mountain range, within the Starlight Reserve, which guarantees dark skies free from light pollution. It is located in Navarredonda de Gredos (Ávila), at an altitude of approximately 1,600 meters, ensuring clear, unobstructed skies. It forms part of the network of stargazing viewpoints in the Gredos Regional Park, designed for astrotourism and night photography. It is near the Parador de Gredos hotel and the Navarredonda Children's Park, with easy access by car and a parking area.

Altitude 2,032 m. The ascent is from the Domingo Fernando platform. This route is of medium-high difficulty, approximately 13 km long and has a 1,000 m elevation gain. Well signposted. The trail dilutes at some points, but you can't get lost.

Beautiful views, on a good day you can see people taking off on paragliders.

Small tack between Navarreonda de Gredos and San Martín De la Vega del Alberche of just 4 km, being harder in the northern area than in the southern area. It is also known by the name of Alto de Barajas. Like all secondary roads in the Gredos area, the asphalt is irregular and rough, of acceptable width, without a shoulder and with very little traffic. Despite the little traffic, it is highly recommended to have your rear light because locals usually travel quickly and hardly expect to encounter cyclists. This small limit can be used on many routes in the northern area of Gredos.

This slope is gentler than the northern slope and much shorter, with just 4 km and 2 of them hard, with some considerable ramps in the pair of horseshoe curves that there are. The road is inhospitable and therefore with very little traffic. The asphalt is uneven and rough, which adds hardness to the climb. Most of the secondary roads in this area are like this, which gives it a lot of charm. The landscape in summer is dry land, very typical of the northern area of Gredos and the northern plateau in general. I climbed the pass one early morning in August and I really enjoyed the solitude and silence of nature.

At 2,028 meters above sea level, this pass provides the strong and brave with a spectacular panoramic view and a hiking experience in the Sierra de Gredos Regional Park.

A large port, 15 km long if we start from Piedrahita, and with a constant slope of 6% except for a couple of short sections that are less and some sections that reach 9%, but very punctual. The condition of the asphalt is good, it is one of the few ports in the area with a surface in good condition. Upstairs it has very good views and there are usually people doing paragliding (if the weather conditions allow it)

It is 1,663 meters above sea level and connects the Corneja Valley (Valdecorneja) with the Alto Valle del Alberche through a local road that connects the towns of Navacepedilla de Corneja and San Martín de la Vega del Alberche. It separates the Sierra de Villafranca and the massif of La Serrota.
