53.19km with 1465m of climb this is the classic route around the Sierra De La Pila. From Camping Castillejo the cyclist heads straight up the long climb to Garapacha village, passing through the historical site of El Corteo de Las Penas. This is a historic landmark and has some amazing natural rock formations. Many years ago, this route served as a strategic point to stop people passing from the south to the north and today is a protected area. Arriving at Garapacha and the old church the trail starts proper from here. Cycling through the sierra you will arraive at the ‘four Lane End’ meeting point and head East heading up to the peak. Shortly after this turning you will see the famous rock formation of the Sierra De La Pila.You will then take a sharp right turn and the final leg up to the peak. The cyclist will pass through the area of the Pozos De Nieve or snow Collecting Holes or Chambers, these were built to collect snow and save water when water was scarce. Then the climb increases until finally levelling out only to become very steep again as you approach the summit. The down hill is great and long so be careful, the track takes you a different way back on a winding track around the side of the mountain. The route back is fast and before you know it the cyclist is back in Fortuna and Camping Castillejo.
