The Llanos de las Animas is undoubtedly one of the toughest climbs in Europe with almost 16 km and an average gradient of more than 12% this killer is a monster that also has a summit just above 2000 metres. The last 3 km are unseen tough and run on a very narrow concrete road that actually consists of wrinkled concrete surfaces that rise to almost 30% at times. At the top, however, you are rewarded with stunning views. Whoever gets up here without dismounting may tip their hat.

De Llanos de las Animas is ongetwijfeld één van de zwaarste beklimmingen in Europa met bijna 16 km en gemiddeld stijgingspercentage van meer dan 12% is deze killer een monster die ook nog eens een top juist boven de 2000 meter heeft. De laatste 3 km zijn ongezien zwaar en lopen over een zeer smal betonnen weggetje dat eigenlijk bestaat uit gerimpelde betonvlakken die bij momenten naar bijna 30% stijgen. Boven word je wel beloond met een prachtig uitzicht. Wie hier boven geraakt zonder afstappen mag een dikke pluim op zijn hoed steken.
