ラタアの峠・トップ6

A great place to relax. You can take homemade wine and a piece of cake. You can also go higher!

Quiet, scenic mountain road.

Heaven close

Nice descent from Trevelez 😎

Mostly good asphalt (2023), little traffic and a great, impressive landscape. We recommend.

This is a point of completion of Puerto a cima known by cyclists, it is a climb from level 0 to level 1200 m above sea level, a good place to end the route and be able to enjoy a good breakfast at the Haza del restaurant lino or some good beers with its good tapas of poor potatoes with offal or chicken, this place was well known in the past because here during the nights the temperature drops a lot and even in summer because of the heights and here after a slaughter of some pig would bring the pieces for later salting and curing of the pieces to obtain a good ham.

Popular legend tells that a deputy campaigning for La Alpujarra asked the people of Pitres what they wanted for their town. They asked for something impossible, perhaps out of distrust of the usually unfulfilled promises of politicians. But the deputy managed to get away with naming a mountain pass here, even though the locals had actually asked for a sea port.

As high as you can go by bike around here. The air is pretty thin here, in the Alps I never had any problems up to almost 3000m, here the altitude sickness started just below the summit. When the sun goes down it gets pretty cold pretty quickly, and windy (that's why the mountain is called the "weathervane"). Definitely worth the effort in good conditions, but a ride up here is not to be taken lightly. At the end of the public street there are various snack bars, so it makes sense to get something to eat. Behind it, minibuses may drive through the sometimes tight curves, so be careful here as well.
