The best road cycling routes around San Bartolomé De Corneja

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.

Nucleus that is at the foot of the northern side of the Sierra de Ávila and that the nucleus is surrounded by farmland among these small villages of Ávila.

Road that passes through the middle of Revalbos and which is a set of ups and downs in this busy area.

La Horcajada is located in the southwest triangle of the province of Ávila. It is practically the space between the foothills of Gredos and the mountain ranges of Malpartida and Collado del Mirón, on the one hand, and the port of Villatoro and the confluence of the Corneja and Tormes rivers, on the other. This surface has been called "Valdecorneja" for centuries. The Cancionero de Baeza, from 1445, for example, records this. The four most important towns in the Valley are, possibly since Vetton times or before, El Mirón, Piedrahíta, La Horcajada and El Barco de Ávila. La Horcajada is located about 75 kilometers southwest of the provincial capital, Ávila, about 82 kilometers from Salamanca and 185 kilometers from Madrid. The town is located at 1033 m above sea level. n. m. between the towns of Piedrahíta and Barco de Ávila on the slopes of the Sierra de la Horcajada.

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)

Right at the top of the town of El Mirón there is a hill with an old tower/castle from past times that offers impressive views of the town and the area as a whole.
