In 1788, it replaced the Fuenfría Pass as mountain pass in the route crossing the Sierra de Guadarrama connecting the Spanish cities of Madrid and Segovia.[1] The saddle point lies at 1,858 metres over sea level.[1] It is located in the border between the province of Segovia and the Community of Madrid. The route consists of the M-601 [es] road in the Madrilenian side and the CL-601 [es] in the segovian side. As of 2019, several of the Alpine buildings erected in the surroundings are derelict.[2]
