This is a route at I have seen on a few road training rides (big billboard at the side of the road), and I thought I would give it a try. The signed route is a hard top road then a gravel road it is boring with no redeeming features. I did find a few sections of single track, the one from the top is worse than the gravel road, it is a 30 degree fall line trail that is baldly washed out not recommended. I think there may be some good stuff here, but I'm not coming back to look for it without a local! It's a pity because you top out at 600m and end at the beach, you descend most of that in forest. This area could be a great mtb area but is just a waste of time at the moment!!
PS I'm beginning to think that IMBA is a rude word in Spain nether come across so many fall line trails.
