It is not easy to reach - it starts far away from everything, in a sleepy village that is the last place to stock up on food and water along the way. Just above Torvizcón you are brutally punished, experiencing gradients close to 20％. After you begin to believe that you can make it there is a series of tough hairpins that try to break you and your chain. But the worst comes after them, around 5kms after leaving Torvizcón - the straight section is so relentlessly steep that I had to get off the bike and push it for a moment. The only such place in the area that defeated me. The last three kilometers are a walk in the park, leading you to an intersection - I suggest turning right to Haza del Lino to get a few more vertical meters.
Great views, perfect road surface, absolutely no traffic - no one will hear your cries of pain.
