This climb is on the route towards Compostela. Packed and unpacked, this can be counted. In my opinion the percentages vary a lot locally which makes it difficult to maintain a constant pace. When you pass under the highway (quite impressive) you get to a steeper part. Afterwards the climb becomes more easy and you arrive in a village (Pedrafita) that is a stop for trucks on their way through. Definitely not worth stopping. Basically, you have already reached a 'col' but you can still climb to the Alto O Cebreiro by turning left in Pedrafita towards Triacastela and Sarria. Here is again a spicier piece until you get to the top so bite your tongue. In terms of nature this climb is not really spectacular, almost all the time you ride in line with a highway (until Pedrafita). However, if you continue after Cebreiro (it goes up and down for a while until the Alto o Poio), you come in a more remote area and it is more fun to ride. This climb is 'mandatory cost' for the compostela goers, but if you are looking for a nice climb in the region, I would look for other places.

Deze beklimming ligt op het parcours richting Compostela. Gepakt en gezakt kan dit dus wel tellen. Naar mijn gevoel schommelen de percentages lokaal heel sterk waardoor het moeilijk is een constant tempo aan te houden. Wanneer je even de snelweg onderdoor rijdt (vrij impressionant) kom je vervolgens op een wat steiler stuk. Nadien klimt het weer wat gemoedelijker en kom je in een dorp (Pedrafita) dat een duidelijke stopplaats is voor vrachtwagens op hun doortocht. Zeker niet de moeite om te stoppen dus. In principe heb je hier ook reeds een 'col' bereikt, maar je kan nog verder klimmen tot de Alto O Cebreiro door in Pedrafita links af te slaan richting Triacastela en Sarria. Hier is er even weer een pittiger stuk tot je boven komt dus even op de tanden bijten. Qua natuur is deze klim niet echt spectaculair, je rijdt vrijwel de hele tijd in lijn met een snelweg (tot Pedrafita). Als je echter na Cebreiro door rijdt (het gaat nog een tijdje op en af tot de Alto o Poio), kom je in afgelegener gebied en is het leuker rijden. Deze klim is dus 'verplichte kost' voor de compostela gangers, maar indien je op zoek bent naar een leuke beklimming in de streek, zou ik andere oorden opzoeken.
