The climb is extremely steep at the start. For me, a heavier rider, I was at the limit of the torque I could produce. Luckily, there are two little driveways on the very steepest part where you can turn off to get a seconds respite before attacking the hill again. For me, that was enough to conquer the hardest part. After that it is steep but tops out at 12-13% and is quite doable. Be sure to stop, either on the way up or down at the last hairpin bend. The views to the ocean from there are breathtaking. The view from the top is amazing but have your jacket ready, it is windy at the top.
There was construction on the road (11/23) but there was a good detour around it. The road surface was excellent and the traffic was very light.
If you are in the area, this climb is a must do.

Spicy climb with serious percentages both in the beginning and towards the end!
Some recovery sections in between, though, albeit also with reasonable percentages....

Pittige klim met zowel in het begin als naar het einde toe serieuze steile stukken!
Wel tussendoor enkele recuperatie stukken, weliswaar ook nog met redelijke stijgingspercentages...

Really recommended, partly because of the Vuelta history, but especially because of the sporting challenge. The climb starts with a wall you face and have to climb. Don't hesitate to use the smallest gears for the first half kilometre. After the first bend, something of relief already comes. The climb remains tough, but softens and even has two short flat stretches; you can definitely gear up. Further up the climb are a few steep longer sections and the wind can also play a role. Pay close attention when following the route: keep left at roundabouts and at the point where you should turn left for the last kilometre. Arriving at the top, you will be rewarded with beautiful views over the sea and the coastal strip.

Echt wel een aanrader, mede vanwege de Vuelta-historie, maar in het bijzonder vanwege de sportieve uitdaging. De klim begint met een muur waar je tegenaan kijkt en tegenop moet. Schroom niet de eerste halve kilometer de kleinste versnellingen te gebruiken. Na de eerste bocht komt al iets van verlichting. De klim blijft zwaar, maar zwakt af en kent zelfs twee korte vlakke stroken; je kan zeker bijschakelen. Verderop de klim zijn nog een paar steile langere stukken en kan ook de wind een rol van spelen. Let goed op bij het volgen van de route: bij rotonde links aanhouden en op het punt waar je linksaf moet slaan voor de laatste kilometer. Boven aangekomen word je beloond met mooie uitzichten over de zee en de kuststrook.

Vicious thing, especially in the beginning you can quickly catch your breath. Lots of construction here, only at the summit is quiet

Venijnig ding, vooral in het begin kan je snel op je adem trappen. Veel bebouwing hier, enkel op de top is het rustig

Recommended for anyone who likes a challenge. The percentage quickly rises. There is not much recuperation, so go for the top!

Aanrader voor iedereen die graag een uitdaging heeft. Al vlug gaat het percentage de hoogte in. Veel recuperen zit er niet in, harken tot de top!

The climb where Dumoulin left all the big ones behind for the first time. The climb starts after the shopping centre on the busy main road. From here, a wall immediately looms in front of you where you have to climb against the 16% for 400 meters. After this you can catch your breath a little more and after a short descent the next steep section starts towards the Cumbre del Sol holiday complex, where you take the second exit off the roundabout and then after a few hundred metres take the second turning back towards the weather station on top. In the last part there are still a few steep sections but the view at the top makes up for everything.

De klim waar Dumoulin voor het eerst alle grote achter zich liet. De klim begint na het winkelcentrum aan de drukke hoofdweg. Vanuit hier doemt er meteen een muur voor je op waar je 400 meter lang tegen de 16% moet klimmen. Hierna kan je iets meer op adem komen en na een korte afdaling begint het volgende steile stuk naar het vakantiecomplex Cumbre del Sol, hier neem je de tweede afrit van de rotonde om vervolgens na een paar honderd meter de 2de terugdraaiende bocht te nemen naar het weerstation bovenop. In het laatste stuk zitten nog een paar venijnige stroken maar het uitzicht bovenop maakt alles goed.
