    Many hairpin bends on hard terrain. It is a mixture of stones, gravel and sand. as usual for this mountain area and its forest tracks I recommend a good pair of knobby tires if you are riding a gravel bike or a mountain bike directly.
    I have seen several dirt roads, trails and single tracks but those in this area are not very busy so its maintenance even if off-road is not so well maintained.
    Very nice view of the sea from the top.
