Agree with Jeroen - great scenery, great road surface, little traffic. I'd say significantly easier than Morcuera from Miraflores, because just when maybe you are starting really to struggle it eases off. Last 3 k soft. Good tortilla de patatas at Meson Maito in Miraflores after, and they'll put ice in you bidon.
The Puerto de la Morcuera is a climb of unprecedented beauty. If you are in the area you should not miss it. The climb is long but not too hard. The road surface is the type of asphalt we cyclists love: pitch black without splits. Every kilometre there is a sign with the upcoming percentages, a number of hairpins and beautiful views make this climb a true feast of pleasure (also depending on how hard you pedal of course). The climb is not too difficult, the toughest kilometers are at the beginning. I didn't see much traffic, although I did meet some fellow cyclists. The descent at the Miraflores side is also very good, 70 in the hour is doable. A must-do this climb!
De Puerto de la Morcuera is een klim van ongekende schoonheid. Als je in de buurt bent mag je deze eigenlijk niet missen. De klim is mooi lang maar niet al te zwaar. Het wegdek is van het type asfalt waar wij fietsers zo van houden: gitzwart zonder split. Elke kilometer een bordje met aankomende stijgingspercentages, een aantal haarspeldbochten en prachtige uitzichten maken deze klim tot een waar genotsfeest (ook afhankelijk van hoe hard je trapt uiteraard). De klim is niet al te moeilijk, de pittigste kilometers liggen aan het begin. Ik heb weinig verkeer gezien, wel kwam ik een aantal collega-fietsers tegen. De afdaling aan de kant van Miraflores is ook helemaal prima, 70 in het uur is te doen. Een must-do deze klim!
