First of all, my bike is a Santos TM2+. This bike weighs 17 kg. I do all my climbs.with it.
The climb of this "mountain" I experienced as intense. It starts right at the turn as you turn into the car park and it hardly stops until you reach the top at the bus parking area. The last little bit up to the stairs to the castle is gravel, which I did not take. The climb winds upwards and the heat can be murderous, especially as you cycle in the lee.
Only a few times did it flatten slightly to a "comfortable" feeling. For the rest, it was steaming under the non-comprehending, pitying stares of the local Spaniards.

Even vooropgesteld: mijn fiets is een Santos TM2+. Deze fiets weegt 17 kg. Ik doe daar al mijn beklimmingen.mee.
De beklimming van deze "berg" heb ik als heftig ervaren. Het begint al meteen bij de afslag als je de parkeerplaats opdraait en het houdt vrijwel niet op tot je boven bent op de parkeerplaats voor bussen. Het laatste kleine stukje tot aan de trap naar het kasteel is gravel en dat heb ik niet meegenomen. De klim kronkelt omhoog en de warmte kan moordend zijn, zeker omdat je in de luwte fietst.
Slechts een paar keer vlakt het iets af naar een "comfortabel" gevoel. Voor de rest was het stoempen onder de niet-begrijpende, meewarige blikken van de lokale Spanjaarden.
