Like the climb towards Corumbela, the start is fairly busy, but very doable after Algarrobo. You climb up the first 12 km relatively gently. Once from the junction, the short descent and the left/right combination over the bridge, it suddenly gets considerably steeper for 2km.

In between, you can take the pressure off your legs for a while due to a flat stretch, but after that it doesn't get below 10% and the barren surroundings make it seem even steeper. However, the views of the idyllic white villages are still great.

If you keep following the road and cycling through, you will pass through a very beautiful part of Andalusia, so the round trip is definitely worth it.

Net als de klim richting Corumbela is het begin redelijk druk, maar na Algarrobo heel goed te doen. Je klimt de eerste 12 km relatief rustig omhoog. Eenmaal vanaf de splitsing, de korte afdaling en de links/rechts combinatie over de brug wordt het plots aanzienlijker steiler voor 2km lang.

Tussendoor kan je even de druk van je benen halen door een vlak stuk, maar daarna komt het niet meer onder de 10% en door de kale omgeving lijkt het nog steiler. Het uitzicht op de idyllische witte dorpen is echter nog steeds geweldig.

Als je de weg blijft volgen en doorfietst kom je door een heel mooi stukje Andalusië, dus het rondje is het absoluut waard.
