Better known as Mount Fontecova. This ascent accumulates a part of great hardness in its intermediate part (from the church of Figueiras to the Cotón de Matamulleres), and a final part that links an asphalt track with very bad state of the road surface with the definitive ascent and leg-breaker to the antennas of the summit.

Better known as Mount Fontecova.

This ascent accumulates a part of great hardness in its intermediate part (from the church of Figueiras to the Cotón de Matamulleres), and a final part that links an asphalt track with very bad state of the road surface with the definitive ascent and leg-breaker to the antennas of the summit.

It can be done with some care with a conventional road bike.

Más conocido como el Monte Fontecova.

Esta ascensión acumula una parte de gran dureza en su parte intermedia (desde la iglesia de Figueiras hasta el Cotón de Matamulleres), y una parte final que enlaza una pista de asfalto con muy mal estado del firme con el ascenso definitivo y rompepiernas hasta las antenas de la cima.

Puede realizarse con algo de cuidado con una bicicleta de carretera convencional.
