Very tough climb, especially if you already have a lap with a previous climb of the Angliru in your legs.... A necessary evil if you want to get to Pola de Lena, it involves a big road with a fair amount of traffic and no particularly stunning views. At the top, you do have a nice view, including of Pola de Lena located in the valley. ... read more

Hele pittige klim, zeker als je al een ronde met een eerdere beklimming van de Angliru in de benen hebt... Een noodzakelijk kwaad als je naar Pola de Lena wilt komen, het betreft een grote weg met redelijk veel verkeer engeen bijster verbluffend uitzicht. Op de top heb je wel een mooi uitzicht, onder andere op het in het dal gelegen Pola de Lena.

I did have reasonable weather. The view here is also worthwhile. Indeed a wide road but amount of traffic not too bad.

Ik had wel redelijk weer. Het uitzicht is hier ook de moeite waard. Inderdaad een brede weg maar hoeveelheid verkeer valt mee.

An OK climb and not too difficult. I did this on a very rainy day so didn't get any views at all. It's a fairly wide road, so not much to see anyway, I guess. Good surface so it's just a case of getting into your rhythm and head up.

I did this after doing Emita de Alba, and think of this as just something to get over for the loop I was doing.
