In June, the climb wasn't passable on a road bike. At least for the first 3 km of the start of the climb. A shame.

Deza is a town in Soria in the community of Castilla y León. Human settlements have been found in the area since the Upper Paleolithic. The Titos (an ethnic group included among the Celtiberians) and later the Romans also settled in the current Deza. During Arab domination, Dassa was an important fortification controlled by the Berbers, as the border between the Christian and Muslim kingdoms was in the nearby Douro. Among its historical heritage, the parish church of Nuestra Señora de la Asunción stands out, from the 16th century, with a tower from the 17th century, and also the main civil building, the strong house of the Fernández de Abarca family, where the town hall is currently located. Deza has a bullring, the oldest in the province in its original location, dug into the earth.

In the middle of the mountainous foothills of the Sierra de Miñana, just on its eastern side, there is the town of Deza that rests under a small depression. Beautiful center that is run by the Church of Nuestra Señora de la Asunción.

Torrijo de la Cañada is a town located in the Manubles river valley that will undoubtedly leave us speechless. In Torrijo de la Cañada there was an episode that left a mark in the history of Spain during the Celtiberian wars. We can also visit the Church of Nuestra Señora del Hortal, the Hermitage or the old bridge where we are. And on the hills that rise above the town, there are more than a hundred old wineries that give us an unusual and wonderful image.

With the mission of defending the Kingdom of Aragon from the Kingdom of Castile, this Castle is located on top of a hill overlooking the town with the natural defense of the Henar River.
