A hidden gem in the city of Santiago.

To access it we have to get to the neighbourhood of Volta do Castro, and be very careful because the access is through a small alley (although recently a nice bike lane has been built that leaves us at the foot of the port by another access).

Despite being a short ascent, it becomes really demanding in some of its sections, which are dangerously close to 20％ of gradient.

The average gradient of the section is not very steep, but it is due to an intermediate segment of almost half a kilometre that is completely flat.

It is worth the detour on its own, but it is also a more interesting way to leave the city of Santiago when we want to head south (towards Cacheiras, Pontevea, A Estrada...).

Una joya oculta en la ciudad de Santiago.

Para acceder a la misma tenemos que llegar al barrio de Volta do Castro, y estar bien atentos porque el acceso es a través de un pequeño callejón (aunque recientemente se ha construido un bonito carril bici que nos deja a pie del puerto por otro acceso).

A pesar de ser un ascenso corto, se vuelve realmente exigente en alguno de sus tramos, que rozan peligrosamente el 20％ de desnivel.

La pendiente media del tramo no es muy dura, pero se debe a un segmento intermedio de casi medio kilómetro completamente llano.

Merece por sí sola el desvío, pero además es una forma más interesante de abandonar la ciudad de Santiago cuando queramos dirigirnos hacia el sur (dirección Cacheiras, Pontevea, A Estrada...).
