The traditional climb to the Santuario del Acebo was a protagonist stage since the 90s for many years in the Vuelta a Asturias, until in 2019 it was included in the route of the Vuelta a España, with a decisive route for the general classification that finished off the climb of three other previous passes.
The climb has up to seven road slopes that link up with this main one or climb up the opposite side. At the exit of Cangas del Narcea, the so-called "traditional ascent" is duly signposted.
El Acebo is a tough pass with three clearly differentiated parts. The first up to kilometre 3, where there are ramps of up to 15％. After a short break we find the central part, with 2 demanding kilometres. And after that, in a new detour, the final part with the hardest ramps which, without a doubt, being open, is the most spectacular part... and even harder without wind.
La subida tradicional al Santuario del Acebo fue etapa protagonista desde los años 90 durante muchos años en la Vuelta a Asturias, hasta que en 2019 fue incluida en el recorrido de la Vuelta a España, con recorrido determinante para la clasificación general que remataba la subida de otros tres puertos previos.
La ascensión cuenta con hasta siete vertientes de carreteras que enlazan con esta principal o suben por la parte opuesta. A la salida de Cangas del Narcea está debidamente señalizada la llamada “ascensión tradicional”.

Después de un pequeño descanso encontramos la parte central, con 2 kilómetros exigentes. Y tras ello en un nuevo desvío, la parte final que tiene las rampas más duras con 16% que, sin duda, al ser abierta, es la parte más espectacular… y más dura aún sin entra viento.
