Mountain road descending from the Lentegí area and the Granada coastal mountain range towards the Costa Tropical, in an environment of deep ravines, steep slopes, and magnificent panoramic views over the Mediterranean. The area is highly appreciated by road cyclists due to its long descents and low traffic density.

The La Cabra road seems to break through the rock to make its way. The open views and the ledges at the edge of the road make it a cycling classic.

This is a very beautiful climb. It's 11 kilometers long and adds 700 meters of elevation gain. There are some steep inclines, but it's generally manageable. There's usually very little traffic. There's a short gravel section. Enjoy the views!

La Herradura Castle, built in 1771 by order of Charles III, is a coastal fortification located in La Herradura, Granada. Originally, its function was to defend the coast from pirate and privateer raids. In 2021, the castle was restored and converted into the “1562 La Furia del Mar” Interpretation Centre, a museum that commemorates the tragic shipwreck of the Spanish Armada that occurred in the bay of La Herradura in 1562, where 25 of the 28 galleys sank, causing the death of nearly 5,000 people.
