It is the closest uphill cycling port to the route of the Segura River (I have done the downhill from Poyotello to Huelga Utrera, passing by the Cueva del Agua). Years ago it was not paved and that made it even more epic, it is 10 kilometres long and would surely be considered a first-class or special port. With asphalt, it continues to be beautiful and demanding, especially from km 6 to 9. If you do it uphill, save your strength for this section.

The climb is very demanding but with incredible views below La Toba, a beautiful place and above the canyon, also spectacular.

This spring located in the village of La Toba, flows very cold water in summer and warm in winter (although the water is always at the same temperature), inviting anyone to cool off or fill up with fresh water.

Ancient walnut tree approximately 500 years old, which dried, but its trunk was preserved so that we can contemplate its impressive dimensions. To get there from the road you have to cross a small wooden bridge over the Taibilla River.

Right next to the village of La Toba is the so-called Nacimiento de la Toba, a birthplace with singular beauty where water flows from a cave. Later, the water thrown by this source runs through the village of La Toba until it falls over a waterfall, which in times of rain when the riverbed is abundant, presents one of the most striking landscapes in Santiago-Pontones. To access the Nativity of La Toba we must drive to the village of La Toba and then walk a little until we find the Nativity. The village can be reached by taking the Despiernacaballos road, whose intersection is located on the road that connects Santiago de la Espada and Pontones or from Santiago de La Espada taking the road that takes us to Miller, JV-7107, once Once we arrive at Las Juntas de Miller we will continue along the JF-7038 highway that will take us to La Toba. During the trip along both routes we will be able to enjoy wonderful landscapes.

Despiernacaballos is a hard and unique climb that connects the Segura river valley with Cañada Hermosa and the road to Santiago de la Espada or Pontones. But that is not all; It allows you to suffer during the ascent and enjoy the views of the Segura river valley at every turn. A true privilege reserved for a few intrepid 💪

Before reaching the Río Segura gorge and after a road that ``glides over the top of the Sierra del Almorchón, the spectacular curves that look like balconies hanging over the Río Segura itself! Impressive views.
