One of the most legendary climbs in the Sierra de Córdoba, well-known for both hiking and mountain biking. It's a tough, consistent climb, very popular with local cyclists and races like the Andalucía Bike Race and the Guzmán el Bueno (the latter often runs it in the opposite direction). The Cuesta del Reventón ascends towards the Ermitas de Córdoba, a classic panoramic viewpoint. It's a wide, rocky path with a steep incline, frequently used by cyclists and hikers. Approximate length: between 2.7 km (classic route) and 4.7 km depending on the mountain bike variant. Elevation gain: between 155 m and 486 m, depending on the route.

The Puente Mocho Bridge is located in Alcolea, within the municipality of Córdoba, and crosses the Guadalmellato River near its mouth in the Guadalquivir. It is a Roman bridge that was part of the Via Augusta, the great road that connected Cádiz with the Pyrenees via Córdoba.

The Puente Mocho Bridge connects the CH-1 highway with the CO-3103 highway, which will take us to the town of Villafranca de Córdoba. This route is popular with cyclists, as its paved road is in good condition and the low traffic of motor vehicles makes it very safe. The route is winding with continuous ups and downs, making it a perfect area for training.

The name says it all 🤣🤣🤣🤣. I have passed through this point doing the Guzmán el Bueno race, between the difficult terrain and the distance and accumulated fatigue, climbing it is very complicated, in addition to having some technical sections

Beautiful stretch of road that is flat throughout and easy to ride, making it suitable for beginners and recreational cyclists. Avenida de la Libertad is a wide, modern street with a well-developed cycle path. It is lined with trees and offers a pleasant ride through an urban area. The Jardines Antonio José Delgado de Jesús are nearby and offer a green oasis. The cycle path leads past the well-kept green areas, which are perfect for a short break. Paseo de Córdoba is an elevated promenade with a cycle path that runs through the city. Here you can enjoy the impressive pools and modern gardens that this part of the city has to offer. The Paseo also offers a great view of the surrounding districts. You can do it once and if you still have the time and inclination, you can extend the route towards the old town or continue towards Jardines de la Agricultura.
