Nice climb, not too tough and actually " a nice runner", up to Competa. Nice temperatures already in March and nice to work on some climbing kilometres. The locals, in the car, take good account of climbing cyclists by observing the, in Spain, mandatory 1.5 mtr distance when overtaking. Tourists (recognisable by the rental stickers) on cars and Dutch license plates apparently think this is less important and sometimes want to take a gamble by overtaking cyclists just before a blind bend. Competa is a village worth seeing and, as a result, the climb is still sometimes busy with tourist traffic. Despite this, the climb from Algerobo is definitely worthwhile. The real climb starts in Algerobo itself once you cross the bridge at the roundabout.

Mooie beklimming, niet al te zwaar en eigenlijk " een mooie loper", tot aan Competa. In maart al lekkere temperaturen en lekker om wat aan de klimkilometers te werken. Wordt door de locals, in de auto, goed rekening met de klimmende fietsers gehouden door de, in Spanje, verplichte 1,5 mtr afstand bij het inhalen in acht te nemen. Toeristen(herkenbaar aan de huurstickers) op de auto en Nederlandse kentekens vinden dat kennelijk wat minder belangrijk en willen nog wel eens een gokje wagen door kort voor een onoverzichtelijke bocht fietsers in te halen. Competa is een bezienswaardig dorpje en daardoor is de klim nog wel eens een drukke bedoeling met toeristisch verkeer. Ondanks dat is de beklimming vanuit Algerobo zeker de moeite waard. De echte beklimming begint in Algerobo zelf zodra je bij de rotonde, het bruggetje oversteekt.

Nice climb, nothing special but nice views and good road surface. You can do long stretches on the big sheet as it is not particularly steep except around the three hairpin bends.

But very nice to combine towards salares and sedella, which is a really beautiful road with a climb of 2.2km to 13％

Leuke klim, niet bijzonder maar wel een leuk uitzicht en goed wegdek. Je kan lange stukken op het grote blad omdat het op rondom de drie haarspeldbochten na niet bijzonder steil is.

Maar heel mooi te combineren richting salares en sedella, dat is echt een prachtige weg met een klim van 2.2km à 13％

First section from the coast has fairly heavy traffic. Fairly many trucks until just before Algarobbo village. From there it is quiet.

eerste gedeelte vanaf de kust heeft redelijk druk verkeer. Redelijk wat vrachtwagens tot net voor Algarrobo dorp. Vanaf daar is het rustig.
