The road from Tierra del Trigo to Los Silos has one of the steepest roads anywhere according to a cycling website and I can well believe it having walked it last Sunday. I am very glad I was going downhill because the climb up would be even more of a killer - it's on a par with Masca and a road sign warns "Precaución maxima!"

Palm grove on the way down.
And see this site for a description and pics of the hairpin bends on the road:
