From Vélez-Málaga, traffic becomes a lot quieter. The first three kilometres towards Arenas are quite tough (and a bit less road surface), after that it gets easier, the road better and the views nicer. All in all, though, it's a climb worth riding, especially past Arenas towards Archez you have virtually no traffic and beautiful views of Cómpeta, among others.... read more

Vanuit Vélez-Málaga wordt het verkeer een stuk rustiger. De eerste drie kilometer richting Arenas zijn vrij stevig (en wat minder wegdek), daarna wordt het makkelijker, de weg beter en de uitzichten mooier. Al met al wel een klim die de moeite waard is om te rijden, vooral voorbij Arenas richting Archez heb je vrijwel geen verkeer en mooie vergezichten op onder andere Cómpeta.

Irregular climb with many short descents that give relief. Once outside Velez-Malaga, the traffic is much quieter.

onregelmatige klim met vele korte stukjes afdaling die verademing geven. Eens een stukje buiten Velez-Malaga is het verkeer een stuk rustiger.
