The Sierra de la Pandera is actually the highest mountain in the Jaen region because you can drive it up to 1830 meters.
The road surface is very good but sometimes there is a lot of traffic.
In the round of Spain when they ride up to 1830m altitude it is ranked out of category.
In 2017 it was the last time arrival place and the victory was for the Polish pocket climber Rafael Maijka but also Valverde and Cunego were primus here.
The climb is tough with admittedly short sections but to 18%. In the summer months, the temperature can easily reach 35 to 40 degrees Celsius or more.
You can also climb this col via a private road from Valdepenas
And then it is extremely tough with sections of more than 1 km long at an average of 18%. The Spaniards do not call it the Spanish Mont Ventoux for nothing.

De Sierra de la Pandera is eigenlijk de hoogste berg in de regio Jaen want je kan hem doorrijden tot op 1830 meter hoogte.
Het wegdek is zeer goed maar soms wel redelijk wat verkeer .
In de ronde van Spanje wanneer ze tot op 1830 m hoogte rijden staat hij buiten categorie gerangschikt.
In 2017 was hij de laatste keer aankomstplaats en de overwinning was voor de Poolse pocket klimmer Rafael Maijka maar ook Valverde en Cunego waren hier primus.
De beklimming is zwaar met weliswaar korte stukken maar aan 18%. Opgelet weinig schauw en in de zomermaanden loopt de temperatuur hier makkelijk op tot 35 á 40 graden en meer.
Je kan deze col ook via een private weg beklimmen vanuit Valdepenas
en dan is hij gigantisch zwaar met stukken van meer dan 1 km lang aan gemiddeld 18%. De Spanjaarden noemen hem niet voor niets de Spaanse Mont Ventoux.
