Attractions and Places To See around Navacepedilla De Corneja - Top 19

Beautiful views, on a good day you can see people taking off on paragliders.

Small tack between Navarreonda de Gredos and San Martín De la Vega del Alberche of just 4 km, being harder in the northern area than in the southern area. It is also known by the name of Alto de Barajas. Like all secondary roads in the Gredos area, the asphalt is irregular and rough, of acceptable width, without a shoulder and with very little traffic. Despite the little traffic, it is highly recommended to have your rear light because locals usually travel quickly and hardly expect to encounter cyclists. This small limit can be used on many routes in the northern area of Gredos.

This slope is gentler than the northern slope and much shorter, with just 4 km and 2 of them hard, with some considerable ramps in the pair of horseshoe curves that there are. The road is inhospitable and therefore with very little traffic. The asphalt is uneven and rough, which adds hardness to the climb. Most of the secondary roads in this area are like this, which gives it a lot of charm. The landscape in summer is dry land, very typical of the northern area of Gredos and the northern plateau in general. I climbed the pass one early morning in August and I really enjoyed the solitude and silence of nature.

A large port, 15 km long if we start from Piedrahita, and with a constant slope of 6% except for a couple of short sections that are less and some sections that reach 9%, but very punctual. The condition of the asphalt is good, it is one of the few ports in the area with a surface in good condition. Upstairs it has very good views and there are usually people doing paragliding (if the weather conditions allow it)

The Serrota is a mountain that reaches 2,292 meters in height, which means that you need to watch the time of its ascent, where the snow covers the area completely with low temperatures.

In the final stretch of the ascent, milestones appear in several places and the best option is to find the optimal path according to the moment, the mountain conditions and personal taste. The geodesic vertex is visible long before you arrive, it is placed on a tower of rocks and the views are extraordinary, practically covering the entire Central System, from the Sierra de Guadarrama to the peaks of Las Batuecas and the distant Sierra de Gata. Below the channels that form the sources of Corneja and Adaja and a little further on is the valley of the highest Alberche, when it is not yet a river in the páramos of San Martín de la Vega del Alberche.

It is 1,663 meters above sea level and connects the Corneja Valley (Valdecorneja) with the Alto Valle del Alberche through a local road that connects the towns of Navacepedilla de Corneja and San Martín de la Vega del Alberche. It separates the Sierra de Villafranca and the massif of La Serrota.

The port of Peña Negra, on its north face, starts from the town of Piedrahita, at the turnoff to Pesquera. Already in the same streets of Piedrahita the slopes stabilize around 5-6%, which will be the usual trend. Because Peña Negra, as can be seen in the altimetric profile, is a really regular port, except for a few short breaks in the second half.
