This beautiful col in the province of Malaga in southern Spain is linked to the historic town of Antequera. The climb and the surroundings are simply fantastic because of the many rocks carved out by the water many thousands of years ago, also called the pancake mountains. The karst rocks were also the dwelling places of the Moors and Romans. But back to the climb which has a great profile for the average cyclist. The road is quite wide on this side but alternately you'll find asphalt and concrete on top and sometimes a bit rougher. The first 2 km are pretty tough with almost constantly double figures. After that you can let your legs cool down because gradually the climb becomes less steep and around km 6 it's even almost flat but that's only for a short while because the last 3 km are the toughest with constant averages above 10％ and peaks up to 15％; The descent is great because in this very hot region there is no shade during the climb but you can cool down by the air. Be careful because the road is narrower and you don't always see other cars coming because of the many bends. Only by his special rock construction a must.
Deze prachtige col in de provincie Malaga in Zuid-Spanje is gelinkt aan het historische stadje Antequera . De klim en de omgeving is ronduit fantastisch door de vele rotsen uitgesleten door het water vele duizenden jaren geleden .Men noemt dit ook het pannekoekengebergte . De karstrotsen waren ook de woonplaatsen van de Moren en Romeinen . Maar terug naar de klim die een schitterend profiel heeft voor de doorsnee wielertoerist. De weg is langs deze zijde tamelijk breed maar afwisselend vindt je er asfalt als beton als bovenlaag en soms wel wat ruwer. De eerste 2 km zijn best pittig met bijna constant dubbele cijfers. Daarna kan je de benen terug laten afkoelen want stilaan wordt de klim minder steil tot rond km 6 zelfs zo goed als vlak maar dat is maar even want de laatste 3 km zijn de zwaarste met constant boven de 10％ gemiddelden en uitschieters tot 15％; De afdaling is dan weer heerlijk want in deze zeer warme streek is er nergens schaduw tijdens de klim maar kan je afkoelen door de zucht . Wel opletten want de weg is smaller en tegenliggende auto's zie je niet altijd aankomen door de vele bochten. Alleen al door zijn speciale rotsbouw een aanrader .
