This summer I had the opportunity to explore the surroundings of Combarro and discovered an impressive climb that starts in the vicinity of the parish of San Xoan de Poio. The route has stretches of good percentage and narrow road, surrounded by a lush forest that makes it even more attractive. On reaching the top, there is a stone commemorating the Vuelta a España 2014, which adds a touch of history to the route.

One of the most beautiful climbs over the Pontevedra estuary. Although the day was not good, I enjoyed it. It is always worth it.

Una de las subidas más bonitas sobre la ría de Pontevedra. A pesar de que el día no acompañó disfruté de la misma. Siempre vale la pena.

This summer I had the opportunity to explore the surroundings of Combarro and discovered an impressive climb that starts in the vicinity of the parish of San Xoan de Poio. The route has stretches of good percentage and narrow road, surrounded by a lush forest that makes it even more attractive. On reaching the top, there is a stone commemorating the Vuelta a España 2014, which adds a touch of history to the route. The views from the top are simply spectacular, with the Pontevedra estuary and the island of Tambo as a backdrop. Both the climb and the descent are very rewarding and well worth the effort if you are in the area. In addition, the location allows access to other interesting routes, such as the climb to A Escusa or the monastery of Armenteira, making it an ideal destination for cycling enthusiasts. Sorry for the pictures, most of them are taken on the bike 🙃.

Este verano tuve la oportunidad de explorar los alrededores de Combarro y descubrí una ascensión impresionante que comienza en las proximidades de la Parroquia San Xoan de Poio. La ruta cuenta con tramos de buen porcentaje y carretera estrecha, rodeada de un frondoso bosque que la hace aún más atractiva. Al llegar a la cima, se encuentra una piedra conmemorativa de la Vuelta a España 2014, lo que añade un toque de historia al recorrido. Las vistas desde la parte alta son simplemente espectaculares, con la ría de Pontevedra y la isla de Tambo como telón de fondo. Tanto la subida como la bajada son muy gratificantes y merecen la pena si se encuentra uno en la zona. Además, la ubicación permite acceder a otras rutas interesantes, como la subida a A Escusa o el monasterio de Armenteira, lo que la convierte en un destino ideal para los amantes del ciclismo. Disculpen por las fotos, la mayoría están hechas encima de la bici 🙃
