A high point on the descent between Manjarín and El Acebo. No services. The views into the Bierzo valley begin to open up — on a clear day you can see as far as Ponferrada. The vegetation changes noticeably as you descend: heath gives way to chestnut and oak.
The descent from here to El Acebo is steep, rocky, and demanding on the knees. A memorial to a cyclist who died on this descent serves as a reminder to take it slowly.
