Nice climb in the Algarve. There are a lot of slightly longer runners or short calf bites. This climb is one of the few in central/eastern Algarve that has both. The road winds up with good tarmac and you can see the summit from start to finish.

Leuke klim in de Algarve. Er zijn veel wat langere lopers of korte kuitenbijters. Deze klim is een van de weinigen in centraal/oost Algarve die beiden heeft. De weg slingert met goed asfalt omhoog en je ziet vanaf begin tot eind de top liggen.

A short but intensely stiff climb in the first part, then eases off a little, the end also demanding. Tough, intense but short. At the top, a bar !

Krótki, ale mocno sztywny podjazd w pierwszej części, potem trochę odpuszcza, końcówka też wymagająca. Mocno, intensywnie, ale krótko. Na szczycie bar !
