Here you can hear the engine noise of the Autodromo for miles. It doesn't bother you, the scenery is great.

Wild trail through the mountains

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

This stretch reveals a mountain range of a thousand shades of green. Between dense eucalyptus and cork oak groves, the path winds through an almost wild landscape, where silence replaces human presence and nature completely dominates.

Camino de la sierra

Highlight • Climb

The slope is pleasant at first. Shortly before the end, before reaching the main road, you face a steep climb, most of it without refreshing shade. However, there is very little traffic. If you're going downhill, it's a joy.
