There are many reasons to take a detour and try this ascent: a beautiful initial part along a wooded road, a demanding final part that includes demanding sections of rough cement and rough terrain... and an impressive panoramic view of the Arousa and Muros estuaries from the viewpoint at the top (if you are lucky, in the area of the wind turbines you may even come across wild horses grazing peacefully). Part of this ascent will also be a pass in the 2026 edition of O Gran Camiño. The gravel... read more

There are many reasons to take a detour and try this ascent: a beautiful initial part along a wooded road, a demanding final part that includes demanding sections of rough cement and rough terrain... and an impressive panoramic view of the Arousa and Muros estuaries from the viewpoint at the top (if you are lucky, in the area of the wind turbines you may even come across wild horses grazing peacefully).
Part of this ascent will also be a pass in the 2026 edition of O Gran Camiño.

The gravel part can be ridden carefully with a road bike, although there are many debris that make it necessary to change the route to avoid stumbling. The concrete parts are in fairly good condition as they were built only a few years ago.

Existen numerosas razones para desviarse y probar esta ascensión: una preciosa parte inicial por carretera boscosa, una exigente parte final que incluye tramos demandantes de sterrato y cemento rugoso... y una impresionante panorámica de las rías de Arousa y Muros desde el mirador de su cima (si hay suerte, además, en la zona de los aerogeneradores puedes llegar a encontrarte caballos salvajes pastando mansamente).
Parte de esta ascensión, además, será puerto de paso en la edición de O Gran Camiño de 2026.

La parte de sterrato (ripio) puede transitarse con cuidado con una bicicleta de carretera, aunque hay muchos cascotes que obligan a ir cambianzo de trazada para evitar tropiezos. Las partes de cemento están en bastante buen estado ya que se construyeron hace pocos años.
