This mountain pass is located on the CO-6410 highway between the towns of Villaharta and Pozoblanco in the heart of the Sierra Morena. The road is in perfect condition and well signposted, with little traffic. It is advisable to stock up on water, since there is no fountain along the way and there is very little shade.
