The route

A road crossing over the high Serranía de Cuenca. You set off from Tragacete on the CM-2106 heading south-east and join the CM-2119, which climbs through pine forests and high moorland to the Puerto de El Cubillo. From there the road crosses the serranía's high plateau, open and with plenty of sky, and descends towards Zafrilla, close to the border with Teruel. Very little traffic almost all year. Water and food in Tragacete and Zafrilla; there are no villages in between, so set off with full bottles and something to eat. It's a cold area: from November to March there can be ice and snow, and you'll feel the wind on the moorland. Best from May to October. You can return the same way or, if you're on a gravel bike, link up in Zafrilla with the PR-CU 113 touring route, which is already on bicis.net.

Track designed by our editorial team on OpenStreetMap (ODbL).

Before you set off, check the state of the road or track and follow the traffic rules. Enjoy the ride.
