Úzquiza Reservoir

Highlight • Lake

The Úzquiza dam, like the Arlanzón dam located less than 10 kilometers upstream, serves to regulate the Arlanzón river, and since both reservoirs form a functional unit between them, they share the important task of guaranteeing the supply of drinking water to the city of Burgos and other towns.

Arlanzón Reservoir

Highlight • Lake

The road that borders the Arlanzón reservoir has an incredible perspective of the mountains as a backdrop. The clouds are reflected in the water and the views in general give meaning to cycling in these remote places.

Puerto del Manquillo

Highlight • Mountain Pass

The Burgos slope from Barbadillo del Pez is an 11-kilometre climb with gradients of up to 11%. The narrow, undivided road runs through the mainly pine forest mass. It is an ideal mountain pass for those who want to lose themselves on roads practically abandoned by cars and enjoy cycling in its purest form.
