The ascent of the Farrapona was the highlight of the Clasica Puerto de Somiedo. In an oasis of tranquility you cycle through a beautiful natural park and you really need to see something. The perfect asphalted road gets really steep in the final kilometers. This is enjoying from the first till the last kilometer. Fantastic!

De beklimming van de Farrapona was het hoogtepunt in het rondje Clasica Puerto de Somiedo. In een oase van rust fiets je door een prachtig natuurpark en kom je werkelijk ogen te kort. De perfect geasfalteerde weg begint pas echt steil te worden in de slotkilometers. Dit is genieten van de eerste tot laatste kilometer. Fantastisch!

The Alto de La Farrapona as the Spaniards call it is a beautiful col in the Cantabrian Mountains or better said the Asturia where so many fantastic cols can be found. Think of the monster of the Asturias, the Angliru.
Who finds the Angliru a bit too much can enjoy the Alto de Farrapona. The road is not too wide and very pleasant. Along the way you have some protection by the trees or mountainside on your right side and that especially in the last part.
This col is regularly on the menu of the Tour of Spain as was the case last year and the day before the Angliru of note.
The last 6 km go constantly at 9% percent upwards with here and there double digits.
At the top, just past the parking lot, you have a beautiful view of all the cols, and there are many in the immediate area.
An absolute must.

De Alto de La Farrapona zoals de Spanjaarden hem noemen is een prachtige col in het Cantabrisch gebergte of beter gezegd de Asturia waar zovele fantastische cols liggen . Denk maar aan het monster van de Asturias " De Angliru ".
Wie de Angliru wat " TE " vindt kan zich uitleven op de Alto de Farrapona . Die via een prachtige weg niet te breed en heel aangenaam zich naar boven slingert. Onderweg heb je af toe wat bescherming door de bomen of bergflank aan je rechterzijde en dat vooral in het laatste deel.
Deze col staat regelmatig op het menu van de ronde van Spanje zoals ook vorig jaar en dag voor de Angliru notabene.
De laatste 6 km gaan constant tegen de 9% percent omhoog met hier en daar dubbele cijfers.
Boven, even voorbij de parkeerplaats heb je een prachtig zicht op alle cols en dat zijn er zeer veel in de directe buurt.
Een absolute aanrader.
