Typical Basque climb, not too long but steep. It is the steepest climb in this direction. The climb is usually the highlight of the Tour of the Basque Country and is also often on the schedule of the Tour of Spain. You ride up through 7 hairpin bends and amidst a wonderful scenery. Even though it is only 5 km long, you will not go wrong. The middle part of the climb is constantly flirting with the 15％ and some short sections of 20％ make it hard to climb.

Typical Basque climb, not too long but steep. It is the steepest climb in this direction. The climb is usually the highlight of the Tour of the Basque Country and is also often on the schedule of the Tour of Spain. You ride up through 7 hairpin bends and amidst a wonderful scenery. Even though it is only 5 km long, you will not go wrong. The middle part of the climb is constantly flirting with the 15％ and some short sections of 20％ make it hard to climb. In the past, this climb was often the scene of mythical battles between the Spanish pocket climbers Abilleira, Oliva, Torres, Bahamontes, Galdos and Fuente. The big prize Arrate is also a particularly highly-catalogued competition in Spain.

Typische Baskische klim , niet te lang maar steil. Langs deze kant is het wel de steilste klim . De klim is meestal het orgelpunt van de ronde van het Baskenland en ook in de ronde van Spanje staat hij dikwijls op het rittenschema. Je rijdt via 7 haarspeldbochten en tussen een wondermooi decor naar boven . Ook al is hij maar 5 km lang mispak je niet . Het middenstuk flirt constant met de 15％ en zelgs enkele korte stroken van 20％ zorgen ervoor dat het harken is. Vroeger was deze klim dikwijls het schouwspel van mythische gevechten tussen de Spaanse pocket klimmers Abilleira, Oliva, Torres, Bahamontes, Galdos en Fuente. Ook de grote prijs Arrate is een bijzonder hooggecatalogeerde wedstrijd in Spanje.
