Beautiful climb with nice views. The road is very well paved and car lee. Ascent rates are very easy throughout and go up and down a bit with occasional short descents.

Mooie klim met mooie uitzichten. De weg is erg goed geasfalteerd en auto luw. Stijgingspercentages zijn overal erg makkelijk en gaan een beetje op en neer met af en toe een korte afdaling.

Very fine climb. Only in the beginning two bits of 13/14 pct but a bit of a breeze. After that a runner of a climb actually. Once in Istan you have nice views and of course you can grab (spring) water at 'Fuente y Lavadero El Chorro'.
7 streams and then pick the right one by the day of the week (Mon-Fri) (superstition!)

Zeer fijne klim. Alleen in het begin twee stukjes van 13/14 pct maar even doorbijten. Daarna een loper van een klim eigenlijk. Eenmaal in Istan heb je een mooi uitzicht en kun je natuurlijk (bron)water pakken bij 'Fuente y Lavadero El Chorro'.
7 stroompjes en kies dan de juiste bij de dag van de week (ma-vr) (bijgeloof!)

This climb is quite long by distance but it has a very easy gradient. There are many very short downhills that can let you rest on the way. The views are nice and the town of Istán is very pleasant.
