Tough but manageable climb, worth it for the stunning views. Completed in late May at about 09:30 and was still blisteringly hot! Road surface was fine, little traffic except for a couple of tourist busses. Caution on the descent - some tight and very fast bends.

Fairly spicy climb, starts off quite nicely but with some pretty spiky ramps higher up - worth the visit if riding on the island for sure.

The highest and only significant mountain on the island. Wonderful climb. Heavy and short enough to go all out.

I did it in the morning in October after overnight rain, grip was an issue on the steep corners. The decent on slippy roads was hairy especially in the steep tight bends. Exhilarating!

A must do in Menorca to the highest point and spiritual home of the island. Brutal all the way up with steepest gradients reserved for the last 500m. A very undulating ride to get there so be prepared.
