This beautiful climb in the Cantabrian mountains is a real must. In the first 2.5 km there is even a short bend with a 20% % incline, luckily it is only a short bend. The last km are also very hard with a short section of 18% . The climb is often shrouded in fog and was several times a decisive stage in the Tour of Spain, for example in 2012 when Joaquim Rodriguez fought a legendary battle with Chris Froome who finished 2nd and Valverde and Contador 3rd and 4th. So a climb for the real climbers. The climb is mainly in an open area and the road surface is very good.

Deze prachtige klim in het Cantabrische gebergte is een echte aanrader . In de eerste 2.5 km heb je zelfs heel even een korte bocht met een stijgingspercentage van 20% , gelukkig meer heel even en kort. Ook de laatste kms zijn erg zwaar met terug een korte strook van 18% . De klim ligt ook regelmatig in de mist gehuld en was meerdere malen een scherprechter in de ronde van Spanje zo onder meer in 2012 toen Joaquim Rodriguez er een legendarische strijd leverde met Chris Froome die 2de werd en Valverde en Contador 3de en 4de . Dus een klim voor de echte klimmers. De klim ligt vooral in een open gebied en het wegdek is zeer goed.
