Puerto con mucho tráfico. Tiene dos carriles en subida pero depende del día y la hora hay mucha afluencia de coches.

Great track I went down in October 2022. To be avoided unless you can't do otherwise. In that case, the passage is not too bad in the end as Spanish motorists keep enough distance when overtaking cyclists. Also, it is not that terribly busy with traffic as there is fe motorway for through traffic.

Grote baan die ik afdaalde in oktober 2022. Te vermijden, tenzij je niet anders kan. In dat geval valt de passage uiteindelijk wel mee aangezien de Spaanse automobilisten voldoende afstand houden bij het inhalen van fietsers. Ook is het niet zo verschrikkelijk druk van verkeer aangezien er fe autosnelweg is voor doorgaand verkeer.
