Works with 50 ctm, 1 and 2 € coins. Same system as the carts. It has tools for a quick or emergency repair. About 600 m away, approx., in the direction of the bus station, there is a bicycle shop (Ciclos Eguizabal), which has a workshop.

After passing through the tunnel at the Autol station, you'll be greeted with the spectacular landscape of the Cidacos Valley. Get ready for the clay-colored cliffs, the castles, the cliff houses, and the green banks of the river. The detour to Préjano is worth it if you have the time, you'll find an old castle, impressive rock structures, remains of the old railway, and a small waterfall. Upon entering Arnedillo, you'll pass thorugh more impressive rock structures and end near the hot springs. Treat yourself to a drink and take in the sun and the views on a clear day.

While it requires a tough climb, the view you get from both Bergasillas Bajera and Bergasillas Somera is worth it. From Bajera you can appreciate a gorgeous view of the Ebro Valley, on the day I surrounded I was able to spot Cácar, Calahorra, and Lerín, and I would guess on a clear day you could see as far as the Pyrenees. From the Mirador del Valle del Cidacos in Bergasillas Somera you'll get a clear view of Peña Isasa and some of the lower peaks of Sierra de la Hez. Continuing on from the Mirador in Somera you can follow part of the IE-069 to get an even more expansive view of the Cidacos Valley. A great climb if you're looking for a workout with a rewarding view. Although the climb is difficult, the view from Bergasillas Bajera and Bergasillas Somere is worth it. From Bajera you can see a wonderful view of the Ebro valley, and on the day I went up you could see Cácar, Calahorra, and Lerín, and even on a clear day I imagine you can see all the way to the Pyrenees. From the Mirador del Valle del Cidacos you can see a clear view of Peña Isasa and by following IE-069 you will see an even more expansive view of the Valle del Cidacos. An excellent climb if you are looking for an exercise with a spectacular view as a reward.
