Spectacular! If you like those leg-wrecking passes and you're in the area, it's a must-see. I last climbed it a month and a half ago and in my opinion the numbers don't do justice to the toughness of those 4km. of hell from La Drova, when you head up that concrete straight.

That straight start in crescendo in the urbanisation ended up being devastating. At the end the slope reaches 22-23% and leaves you with empty legs, wanting to take the first right-hand bend, changing to asphalt and softening the slope. After that, a stretch at 10% tastes like glory on this again quite straight stretch with a mini downhill in between.

After the no trespassing sign (you can continue) we soon enter the final concrete stretch of horseshoe bends. At this point there are still 2 long kilometres to climb with the only respite being a mini descent at the Collado de les Bigues.

This final part is once again very demanding and agonising, in which you have to twist and turn on your bike to overcome it, once again overcoming some peaks that reach 23%. Even the last straight is eternal, being longer than it seems, when you are almost at the top, as from this point there are already some antennas like the ones you will see after reaching the green metal gate that puts an end to the climb.

Espectacular! Si te gustan esos puertos destroza piernas y estás por la zona, es una visita obligada. Hace mes y medio lo subí por última vez y en mi opinión las cifras no hacen justicia a la dureza de esos 4km. infernales desde La Drova, cuando enfilas esa recta hormigonada.

Ese inicio rectilíneo in crescendo en la urbanización acabo siendo demoledor. Al final la pendiente llega al 22-23% y te deja las piernas vacías, deseando coger la primera curva a derechas, cambiando a asfalto y suavizando la pendiente. Tras lo superado, algún tramo al 10% sabe a gloria en ese tramo nuevamente bastante rectilíneo con una mini bajada entre medias.

Tras el cartel de prohibido el paso (se puede continuar) en breve nos adentramos en el tramo final hormigonado de curvas de herradura. Llegados a este punto todavía nos quedan 2 largos kms por ascender con la única tregua de un mini descenso en el llamado Collado de les Bigues.

Esta parte final vuelve a ser de lo más exigente y agónica, en la que te tienes que retorcer encima de la bici para vencerla superando de nuevo algún pico que llega al 23%. Incluso la última recta es eterna, siendo más larga de lo que parece, cuando ya casi estás arriba, ya que desde ese punto ya hay unas antenas como las que veremos tras llegar al portón metálico verde que pone punto y final a la subida.

Really another one of those lovely, typically Spanish goat tracks. Coming out of the village, unfortunately, we got off the bike for a while to step over the fence. On the way over sawdust and down past big branches (trees were being cut). But it was nice. Going back down is really hell on trails like this. Especially when it is full of branches and sawdust ;-).

Echt weer zo'n heerlijk, typisch Spaans geitenpad. Uit het dorp komende helaas even van de fiets af om over de afzetting heen te stappen. Onderweg over zaagsel en langs grote takken af (er werden bomen gezaagd). Maar het was lekker. Terug naar beneden is echt een hel op dit soort paden. Zeker als het vol ligt met takken en zaagsel ;-).

The climbing profile from Gandia doesn't lie. But it doesn't matter if you come from Pla de Corrals or Simat, it will be tough either way.

Het klimprofiel vanuit Gandia liegt niet. Maar het maakt niet uit of je vanuit Pla de Corrals of Simat komt gereden, zwaar wordt het hoe dan ook

Climb from Hell to Heaven. It is already an achievement if you make it through the first 300 metres without coming to a halt. During the climb there are about 5 of these kind of sections that you have to endure every time. The view at the top is phenomenal. You have to walk 20 meters to see the valley in all its glory.

Klim van de Hel naar de Hemel. Het is al een prestatie als je de eerste 300 meter haalt zonder stil te komen staan. Tijdens de klim volgen ongeveer 5 van dit soort stukken die je telkens weer moet doorstaan. Het uitzicht op de top is fenomenaal. Wel even 20 meter doorlopen om de vallei in volle glorie te mogen aanschouwen.
