エルエスピナルの峠・トップ18

アルト・デル・レオンから出発し、アルシプレステまたはロス・ロミートスへの道まで下る美しいトレイル。

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 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.

It is halfway up the climb to La Peñota, so it is a good point to stop on days without a storm. On stormy days it may be too exposed to the wind to make a stop at this hill.

The port of Malagón, also known as Alto de Abantos or Puerto de San Juan de Malagón, is a mountain pass located in the southwest area of the Sierra de Guadarrama. It has an altitude of 1590 meters and separates the Spanish provinces of Madrid and Ávila.

Legendary peak that not only has magnificent views but also plays a great role in the history of sports in Spain.

The port of Malagón, also known as Alto de Abantos or Puerto de San Juan de Malagón, is a mountain pass located in the southwest area of the Sierra de Guadarrama (mountain belonging to the Central System). It has an altitude of 1590 meters and separates the Spanish provinces of Madrid and Ávila. The regional road that crosses it connects the municipalities of San Lorenzo de El Escorial (Madrid) and Peguerinos (Ávila). To the west of the port extends the Malagón mountain range, which gives it its name. The mountain pass is located on the southern slope of Mount Abantos, which is why it constitutes the starting point of a path that leads to the top of said mountain.
