엘 바라코‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪5‬개의 산길

phenomenal

A nice climb from the El Burguillo reservoir. The first part is asphalt in very good condition (as of November 1, 2025), and the second part is a dirt track, also in very good condition. It's a demanding climb; the asphalt section offers some flatter sections, but the dirt track is practically a continuous gradient of around 10%.

It's an open pass in the inhospitable landscape typical of this area. It's highly recommended because it offers easy connections to other passes such as Serranillos and Mijares.

A relatively simple port, with good asphalt and road visibility, moderate (average 5%) and constant gradients. It can be tricky on a windy day.

From the top of this mountain you can see impressive views of the whole area and a stop there is mandatory. The last highest mountain of the eastern end of the Sierra de Gredos.

This is one of the ports that was best known for world cycling at the end of the 20th century for the Vuelta España. But the port was reformed years ago and nowadays it is more open and where there are windy days, it is an important factor.

Basically irregular ascent, with almost 11 kilometres, which is located on the road that connects Cebreros with San Bartolomé de Pinares. After this point on the road there are ramps going up and down until completing the 11 km.

The port of La Paramera is another of those giants of Ávila, although with a lesser cachet than Serranillos, Mijares, El Pico or La Centenera, either by numbers or by landscape, although from this point of view it does not detract either, at least in its intermediate part, in the 6-7 kilometers after El Barraco.
