If you are in the area on holiday a perfect climb to do from your hotel/resort for a short workout. The start is less fun as you first drive through the busy streets of the costa. Once past the motorway it gets equally steep and with a lot of traffic. When you pass Mijas the reward comes. The traffic dies away, especially when you pass by the quarry, where no car traffic is allowed (except destination traffic). You now have the road to yourself for the last 5km. These are not the easiest kilometres though as the gradients no longer drop below 10％. At first you cycle through forests typical of the region, towards the end it becomes open and you have more and more views. The view at the top is just fantastic. Unfortunately, at the top there is nothing but a closed gate, a terrace would be welcome. Be careful on the descent as it is steep and winding at first, then there is traffic again.

Als je in de buurt bent op vakantie een perfecte klim om te doen vanuit je hotel/resort voor een korte training. Het begin is minder leuk omdat je eerst doorheen de drukke straten van de costa rijdt. Eens voorbij de snelweg wordt het even steil en met veel verkeer. Wanneer je Mijas passeert komt de beloning. Het verkeer sterft weg, vooral als je aan de groeve passeert, waar geen autoverkeer is toegelaten (behalve bestemmingsverkeer). Je hebt de weg nu voor je zelf voor de laatste 5km. Het zijn wel niet de makkelijkste kilometers want de stijgingspercentages zakken niet meer onder de 10％. Je fietst eerst doorheen bossen typisch voor de streek, naar het einde toe wordt het open en heb je meer en meer uitzicht. Het uitzicht op de top is gewoon fantastisch. Jammer genoeg is er bovenaan niks anders dan een gesloten poort, een terrasje zou welgekomen zijn. Oppassen in de afdaling want het is eerst steil en bochtig, daarna is er terug verkeer.

Quite hard climb because of the gradient. The last 5km are on a road that cars are not allowed on and the views are beautiful,
