The particulars state that part of it cannot be cycled.... fortunately, it is! And they keep a lot of distance, too. Logically, the climb starts in Jaca... it's a nice run over relatively good tarmac with beautiful Pyrenean views full of history. At the end it goes up a bit dirty but then that descent over that wonderfully wide road! What a treat!
