The Puerto del Pico with its viewing point is one of the classics of the Sierra de Gredos, used frequently in the routes of the Vuelta a España. The viewing point offers beautiful views of the Valle del Barranco or Valle de las Cinco Villas. You can also see the layout of the old Roman road that also went up this valley to access the upper part of the Iberian plateau. The road that goes up to the Puerto del Pico on its southern slope is in perfect condition as it is the national road N-502. It is a fast road so you have to be very careful with cars, especially on holidays and vacations.

You should definitely stop at the Puerto de Pico pass at an altitude of 1,352 m. There are enough parking spaces. There is also a restaurant on site. The views are spectacular and with a little luck you can see Iberian ibex up here.
