The Cuatro Caminos pass is a strategic pass, it ends the important slopes and is key to keeping the route at the average altitude until the Caniles highway. The departure from the protected natural area of the mountain range is notable for the change in environment, there are traces of deforestation and the peaks of the mountain range look like plateaus reminiscent of other latitudes. In the background, the white spheres of the astronomical radars of Calar Alto finally appear, the ceiling of the cycle tour and the main challenge of the day. The route immediately leaves the road that goes down towards Escúllar and continues along the mountain range. The road surface is acceptable until the Loma de las Piedras de Ayala, the ground gets much worse and the slope is considerable, it is two uncomfortable kilometers to the natural viewpoint of the Piedras del Deseo, an inspiring name where there are some corrals and fantastic views of the Gulf of Almería, an arc bluish by the waves of the Mediterranean between Punta Entinas and Cabo de Gata. The track improves significantly, passing through the Pingarra hill and connecting with the road that goes up to Calar Alto. On the ditch there are signs for cyclists with the distance and percentage of the slope. The day we spent there was a blizzard, it was cloudy and we couldn't enjoy the views at all, a shame after the four long hours of climbing. Some souvenir photos, all the clothes on and at full speed to Bacares, a town that seems exiled in a wild and lonely corner of the Sierra de los Filabres, surrounded by ravines and mountains. Passing through the town is not obligatory, the main road passes through the detour, you can see the hamlet that is on the opposite slope and continue the descent towards Tíjola.
