The Carabanzo is a typical Spanish wall in Asturias in the north of Spain. The road surface has recently been renewed with a decent layer of asphalt but it still feels a bit rough. The first few hundred meters are not very steep but then the spectacle begins with the next km constantly above 10% and also some very steep bends.
This wall is climbed very often in Spanish races. Not only by the professionals in the Tour of Asturias but especially by the youth categories. This climb is also called the Balagué climb by the inhabitants of Asturias after the Spanish climber Jose Balagué whose parental home on top of this mountain is in the hamlet of Carabanzo, a village of 220 inhabitants but with a legendary climber from the 60s and 70s as its most famous inhabitant who rode for renowned Spanish teams such as BIC, Werner, La Casera and Super Ser and ended his career in 1977 with the legendary Teka team from Cantabria. Balagué was especially a master mechanic in the mountains for Jose Luis Abilleira, Luis Ocana, Andres Oliva and Pedro Torres, among others. If you are in the area you should definitely do this climb, but make sure you use a small gear because otherwise you will break your legs.

De Carabanzo is een typische Spaanse muur in Asturië in het noorden van Spanje. Het wegdek is onlangs nog vernieuwd met een degelijke laag asfalt maar voelt wel nog een beetje ruw aan. De eerste honderden meters lopen amer op maar dan begint het spektakel met de volgende km constant ruim boven de 10% en daarbij ook nog enkele zeer steile bochten.
Deze muur wordt ontzettend verl beklommen in Spaanse wedstrijden. Niet alleen door de profs in de ronde van Asturië maar vooral door de jeugdcategorieën . Deze beklimming wordt door de inwoners van Asturië ook de Balagué klim genoemd naar de Spaanse klimmer Jose Balagué wiens ouderlijke huis boven op deze berg in het gehucht Carabanzo ligt , een dorpje van 220 inwoners maar met een legendarische klimmer uit de jaren 60 en 70 als bekendste inwoner die voor gerenommeerde Spaanse ploegen als BIC , Werner, La Casera en Super Ser reed en zijn carrière afsloot in 1977 bij het legendarische Teka team uit Cantabria. Balagué was vooral een meesterknecht in de bergen voor onder andere Jose Luis Abilleira, Luis Ocana, Andres Oliva en Pedro Torres. Als je in de buurt bent moet je deze klim absoluut gedaan hebben laar zorg voor een kleine versnelling want anders fiets je je benen kapot.
