Beautiful climb in the neighbourhood of Cordoba. Again, like all climbs in this area, very quiet. This climb has a lot of curves and irregular percentages, but still regularly exceeds 10% and then drops a bit again. Halfway up the climb, there is a gas station and a restaurant. From there on, the climb goes up and down a bit and you can enjoy yourself in a beautiful pine forest. The KOM on this climb is blazing because the Vuelta passed here in 2016.

Beautiful climb in the neighbourhood of Cordoba. Again, like all climbs in this area, very quiet. This climb has a lot of curves and irregular percentages, but still regularly exceeds 10% and then drops a bit again. Halfway up the climb, there is a gas station and a restaurant. From there on, the climb goes up and down a bit and you can enjoy yourself in a beautiful pine forest.
The KOM on this climb is blazing because the Vuelta passed here in 2016. I don't expect people to be popping up to the top at an average of 30 in the hour any time soon :)

Prachtige klim in de buurt van Córdoba. Wederom, net als alle andere klimmen in deze buurt, heerlijk rustig. Deze klim heeft veel bochten en onregelmatige percentages die toch ook regelmatig boven de 10% uitkomen om daarna weer wat af te zakken. Op de helft van de klim zit een benzinestation en een restaurantje. Vanaf dat punt gaat de klim een beetje op en af en is het genieten geblazen in een prachtig pijnbomenbos.
De KOM op deze klim staat loeischerp omdat de Vuelta hier in 2016 langs kwam. Ik verwacht niet dat er snel mensen met gemiddeld 30 in het uur naar boven zullen knallen :)
