Tips from the Community
I've seen it closed for a couple of days, maybe for vacation. The times I've eaten there (in August) have been great, not just because of the lamb, which is their specialty.

From the highway, next to a building, a narrow road leads off, with many potholes at first. There's only one turnoff (left) a few kilometers later, to Robledo. The other takes you directly to the summit. At the end, the gradient increases. Once at the top, the views are impressive. From the guardhouse, you can see half the Sierra, and on the opposite side of the guardhouse, the other half.

It is the closest uphill cycling port to the route of the Segura River (I have done the downhill from Poyotello to Huelga Utrera, passing by the Cueva del Agua). Years ago it was not paved and that made it even more epic, it is 10 kilometres long and would surely be considered a first-class or special port. With asphalt, it continues to be beautiful and demanding, especially from km 6 to 9. If you do it uphill, save your strength for this section.

Incredible, beautiful, desolate climb. If climbing from El Robledo the road will be quite rough all the way. If climbing from Hornos the first approx 10km is a great surface but also becomes quite rough when turning off for the last section.

The climb is very demanding but with incredible views below La Toba, a beautiful place and above the canyon, also spectacular.

The river is the Zumeta, nestled in a spectacular canyon, where it meanders from Santiago de la Espada. Unique area associated with tranquility and personal enjoyment.
