Hard and spectacular climb. Great views of neighbouring Portugal. One of the most beautiful in the south of the province of Pontevedra. Highly recommended.

This is a really nice and punchy climb. The road surface is good and the traffic is light once out of the town of Tui (Tuy). There are a few steep sections. The views across the river Minho to Portugal and the Atlantic are stunning. There is a bar at the top, but it’s only open at weekends in the summer. When you do get to the top on the one way loop of the summit, there is a cheeky left turn on a smooth dirt track that can take you a bit higher to the large stone cross.
