ウンブリアスの峠・トップ4

A tough port but with spectacular views of the Gredos mountain range. In 2024 the asphalt is in poor condition. Perfect for gravel bike.

This is one of the best-known mountain passes in the Sierra de Gredos area and is also important as it separates the two most important basins in the Iberian Peninsula, the Duero and the Tagus.

Puerto del Tremedal from El Barco de Ávila is a climb in the Castilla y León region. It has a length of 10.9 kilometers and an ascent of 608 vertical meters with an average gradient of 5.6%, which implies a difficulty level of 420. The top of the ascent is located at 1,640 meters above sea level.

Located at 1,275 meters above sea level, it is recognized as a historic mountain pass in the Sierra de Gredos and represents the physical division point of the Duero and Tagus basins. This site has been the passage of several civilizations. over the centuries and represents a site of great historical importance for the area.

The port of Tornavacas is a historic pass in the Sierra de Gredos, it is located at an altitude of 1,274 m and divides the Duero and Tagus basins. The mountain pass has been a place of transit for centuries, cultures, civilizations, armies and transhumant herds have passed through here. Now it is an obligatory step to contemplate the landscape from a pleasant viewpoint located in the port car park or to take a hiking or mountain route through the surrounding mountains. Towards the Cáceres slope, the road plunges into the Jerte valley through the town of Tornavacas, a passageway for Carlos V's entourage when he traveled to the Yuste Monastery in the last days of his life. The Ávila side is gentler and follows the meadows and hills of the Aravalle River to the Tormes basin.

A little-known port among cyclists and somewhat better known by cyclists in the area, although the Tour of Spain has already passed through it. The climb up the south face of this pass is very hard: 11 km starting from La Carrera that take forever. The road is narrow and one of those that grab a lot, bad for rolling. This climb is the hardest that the Tremedal has.
