Nice climb to Canillas de Aceituno. This is part of the ruta de Mudéjar that runs up to Arenas (or vice versa, of course). Beautiful route. Climb is steepest in the first kilometres, then between 5 and 7%. Little traffic (cycled on Friday). Beautiful climb to an even more beautiful hinterland.

7km at 7％. Very regular climb, brand new tarmac. At 3.5km from the top you can see your destination and it looks like it's much further than it actually is.
