A popular climb - the mountain version of the route from Motril to Vélez de Benaudalla. A great warm-up before the next hills inland. It's a nice feeling when around each bend you see a wider and wider panorama of the town and the sea below. At the very top, a surprise - a historic tunnel. The only drawback is the occasional heavy traffic of cars and motorbikes, but the drivers are very attentive and unconflicted.... read more

Popularny podjazd - górska wersja trasy z Motril do Vélez de Benaudalla. Świetna rozgrzewka przed kolejnymi wzniesieniami w głębi lądu. To miłe uczucie kiedy za każdym zakrętem widać coraz szerszą panoramę miasta i morza poniżej.
Na samym szczycie niespodzianka - zabytkowy tunel.
Jedyna wada to momentami spory ruch samochodów i motocykli, ale kierowcy są bardzo uważni i niekonfliktowi.
