Handsome winding ascent / descent with mountain views, which is quite remarkable at this low altitude anyway. We faced some wind chills on the descent. Sits as a descent in the annual Donostia / San Sebastian cycling classic.

Knappe bochtige beklimming / afdaling met berguitzichten, wat toch wel opvallend is op deze lage hoogte. We kregen er bij de afdaling te maken met wat windstoten. Zit als afdaling in de jaarlijkse wielerklassieker van Donostia / San Sebastian.
