The Mijares Pass is one of the great mountain passes in the Sierra de Gredos, highly prized by cyclists for its length, elevation gain, and scenic beauty. Maximum gradient: 11% (on short ramps before Mijares). There are several steep sections in the villages and near the Horcajo area, as well as another one 2 km from the summit.

A legendary mountain pass in the Vuelta a España and in the Gredos mountain range, along with Serranillos, Peña Negra, Pedro Bernardo, and Puerto del Pico. It's a namesake of Serranillos, as it connects the same valleys, running parallel. Like Serranillo, it's a pass with a gentle, continuous gradient and uneven, bumpy asphalt, which is typical of this area. A pass of thermal contrasts: in winter, you're freezing cold, and in summer, you can die of heat.

The Puerto del Pico with its viewing point is one of the classics of the Sierra de Gredos, used frequently in the routes of the Vuelta a España. The viewing point offers beautiful views of the Valle del Barranco or Valle de las Cinco Villas. You can also see the layout of the old Roman road that also went up this valley to access the upper part of the Iberian plateau. The road that goes up to the Puerto del Pico on its southern slope is in perfect condition as it is the national road N-502. It is a fast road so you have to be very careful with cars, especially on holidays and vacations.

You should definitely stop at the Puerto de Pico pass at an altitude of 1,352 m. There are enough parking spaces. There is also a restaurant on site. The views are spectacular and with a little luck you can see Iberian ibex up here.

The towns of Santa Cruz del Valle and Lanzahíta are connected by a forest track that coincides with the GR 180 route. This trail is especially pleasant in summer, when the air smells of pine and you can walk accompanied by the sound of cicadas.
