The best road cycling routes around Layana

This route is based on the Rompepiernas cycle-tourism event in its short version called “Rompepiernas corta”. The route links several loops starting from Sos del Rey Católico, so it can be done as proposed or only part of the proposed ones. It begins in the municipality of Sos del Rey Católico where we will ascend to the Puerto de Sos along the old road, then we will descend towards Sos and to the bottom of the valley. Then the route goes to Navardún to take the detour to Urriés and the Puerto de Cuatro Caminos. Once we reach the top of the port we will go down towards Undués de Lerda to later make the second climb to the Puerto de Sos. Once we reach the top of the port we will descend, this time, towards Castilis-car, to make the third and last climb to the Puerto de Sos, but this time on the southern slope, passing through Sofuentes and Mamillas. From the top of the port, we will continue towards the old port and road of Sos to end the route in this monumental and medieval town.
