This is a beautiful climb that starts off gently, but from kilometer 7 onwards, it begins to incline and you face ramps of almost 13%. The views are magnificent and the road surface is in good condition.

Close to Vallehermoso, and while we're at it... With wet terrain, be careful. The views, impressive.

Daroca Castle is a modest peak in the Moncalvillo area separated and isolated from the mountain range where the main peaks are found. The route is an easy and short walk.

Calling this very modest hill a mount is a bit pretentious. But hey, it's nice to see all around. And it even has a mailbox.
