Tough climb with the vacation bike of 17 pounds with 20 pounds of luggage. Got up due to a road closure. At the lowest gear of the Rohloff hub "speeds" seen on the counter of 5 km/h. A solid hump on the route.

Café on the top was a great gift. I definitely run out of gears. 36 front and 32 back was not enough, but I’m weak!

Beautiful, short hill, wonderful views from the top, this entire area is hilly, without traffic, mostly on good asphalt, you can create various, very nice circuits.

Nice climb in the Algarve. There are a lot of slightly longer runners or short calf bites. This climb is one of the few in central/eastern Algarve that has both. The road winds up with good tarmac and you can see the summit from start to finish.

A short but intensely stiff climb in the first part, then eases off a little, the end also demanding. Tough, intense but short. At the top, a bar !
