Somehow I had quite a lot of traffic the first stretch out of Biescas, but once in the undulating flatter middle section, it became quiet. So presumably a whole lot of tourists leaving 'in the morning from their overnight spot and all wanting to go up at the same time. The final stretch to the tunnel climbs quite a bit, but the reward is a nice view as soon as you exit the tunnel.... read more

Op één of andere manier had ik het eerste stuk Biescas uit best veel verkeer, maar eenmaal in het golvende vlakkere middendeel werd het rustig. Vermoedelijk dus een hele hoop toeristen die 's morgens vertrekken vanaf hun overnachtingsplek en allemaal tegelijk omhoog willen. Het laatste stuk tot de tunnel klimt even flink door, maar de beloning is een fraai uitzicht zodra je de tunnel uitkomt.

Quiet asphalted route. Highest point (the col) is through a tunnel that is well lit by the way. Before that, two shorter, somewhat darker tunnels, but motorists in this part of Spain generally drive carefully and avoid cyclists. Directly on the east side of the tunnel, there is a nice little bar with a terrace and a fantastic view of the Pyrenees.

Rustige geasfalteerde route. Hoogste punt (de col) gaat door een tunnel die trouwens prima verlicht is. Daarvoor twee kortere wat donkere tunneltjes, maar automobilisten in dit deel van Spanje rijden over het algemeen voorzichtig en gaan met een wijde boog om fietsers heen. Direct aan de oostzijde van de tunnel zit een sympathiek barretje met terras en fantastisch uitzicht over de Pyreneeën.
