The range of hills between San Carlos and the village of San Vicente provide stacks of great riding. The hills are densely wooded and criss-crossed with trails. The highest point is 404m (1325ft). I like to call them "the mountains" although this is something of an exaggeration.
The route at the link below is my favourite one in this area. It crosses the spine of hills twice - from the San Carlos side over to San Vicente and then back again. There is lots of sustained climbing and descending on rough, rocky tracks.
Distance 14.5 miles.
Ascent 2000 feet.
Time: 1.5 - 3 hours.
Difficulty: sustained and steep climbs.

You can do this route in either direction. Your choice is whether you prefer a 3 mile slog up the road from San Vicente followed by an exhillarating offroad descent (if you follow the direction of the GPS route given) or to do the ascent offroad and the descent on-road if you reverse the direction.
