The cycle trip continues along the lane of the Jacobean route until it connects with the Cebreros highway. The route continues along the side of the road, passing through the popular port of Arrebatacapas and another descent to Cebreros, a mountain town with a wine-growing tradition that would be a good place to finish the second stage when organized as a three-day trip. The Camino de Levante descends from the port along a mountain path that is quite technical and difficult by bicycle, suitable for trail experts and everyone can choose. The path begins next to the port sign and ends where the road enters the urban complex. The track goes down the road, crosses the town and continues the descent along the old Camino Real de Toledo, used by the funeral procession of Isabel la Católica when they carried her remains from Medina del Campo to Granada. At the Cebreros exit there are remains of the old medieval road and on the Alberche River there are the monumental bridges of Valsordo and Santa Yusta, used since Roman times, although they have undergone several reconstructions throughout history. The climb coincides with the last arrows of the Camino de Levante and deviates through the Puente Nuevo urbanization towards San Martín de Valdeiglesias, following the markings of the GR-10 long-distance path, with several hard ramps on the Camino de la Aliseda.

The arrangement of the sculptures is interesting: they are side by side, forming a line in a north-south direction and all of them facing west, to the hill of Cerro de Guisando, from which they receive their name. The Tórtolas stream, which is located behind it, marks the natural border between the communities of Castilla y León and Madrid.
