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 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.

The Puente or Tío Eduardo mill is part of the ethnographic ensemble of the Corneja river mills. It is a construction of the fourteenth century, the bridge has a semicircular arch and the building collected the water from the river by means of a cacera that brought pressure to the bucket and produced light for the town of Navacepedilla de Corneja by means of a dynamo connected to the mill wheel with a pulley At that time the value of the mill was estimated at 400 reales de vellón.
