VILLAMANTA-ALDEA-TAMAYO-CEBREROS-HOYO-NAVALPERAL-NAVAS-CRUZ-

Starts in the high plains of Villamanta, ends in the pine-clad folds of Navas del Marqués. The corridor slices through the Sierra Oeste de Madrid, a wrinkled terrain of rolling foothills and sudden drops where the road twists like a zipper between granite outcrops and shadowed valleys. Technically it’s a stop-start grinder: a series of short punishing climbs up to 1,300 m are met by rapid decents that feel like free-fall, then a rhythm of tight switchbacks that punish momentum. Speed sectors flicker between crawl and canyon speed, never settling, always demanding throttle control. This route earns a bronze star for operators who enjoy altitude with attitude.
