Although cycling is not permitted up to the holm oak to avoid disturbing other visitors, the restricted section is very short and can be accessed on foot.

Right in the port that bears his name, you can find this incredible Marian sanctuary in a unique location. If you don't want to break the rhythm of the climb or descent, you will see it in the distance, but if you want to make a short stop, it is an ideal place. Although what stands out the most is the sanctuary building, it also has a small hermitage nestled in the rock or an outside walk from which you will have viewpoints and information about the different peaks of the Pyrenees that you can observe. As the only warning, you will have to get off the bike since, after the fence, you cannot circulate.

This small and discreet town, belonging to Secastilla, offers a good point to take a break, especially if you are coming from Secastilla and have just made the climb. From the road you can see its paddle tennis court. From Ubiergo it is very easy to get to La Puebla de Castro, Secastilla, or the top of Torreciudad, all with roads in good condition and not very busy.

It is a beautiful town that can be easily reached by pedaling from Secastilla. There are many tracks in the area, which also connect with the reservoir, although if you have to return, make sure to save your strength, since you will have to climb back up. In addition to walking through its quiet streets and discovering corners such as its oil mill, we recommend that you visit the Roman site of Labitolosa (next to the town) and the incredible hermitage of San Román, located in a location that will not leave you indifferent.

Both the GR 17 and the GR 45 pass right in front of the impressive El Grado dam, offering a good view of this gigantic work of engineering.

The path that leads to Torreciudad along the western slope of Peña Solans runs between pines and olive trees and offers beautiful views of the El Grado reservoir, as well as the Torreciudad sanctuary.

Grado Dam that stops all the water from the immense Grado I reservoir, a dam that runs from the town of Ligüerre to the town that gives the dam its name.

The road that takes you from Ubiergo to Grado passes the Santuario de Torreciudad, a sanctuary dedicated to the Virgen Maria, specifically to the devotion of Nuestra Señora de los Ángeles de Torreciudad. The construction, immense, can be seen from the other side of the Graus I swamp.
