Mooie lange klim. Bij aanvang wat onregelmatig maar verder prima te doen. Goed wegdek, weinig verkeer. Leuke klim in mooie omgeving.

Nice climb, Start from Rincon de la Victoria is irregular though. From Benagalbon the gradient does get steadier but also steeper. Just past Moclinejo it goes into double digits for a few hectometres, but after that it's very doable. Nice climb

Leuke beklimming, Start vanuit Rincon de la Victoria is wel onregelmatig. Vanaf Benagalbon wordt de steiging wel stabieler maar ook steiler. Net voorbij Moclinejo gaat het voor enkele hectometers nog in de dubbele cijfers, maar daarna is het wel heel goed te doen. Mooie beklimming
