This variant of ascent to the Bola de Espiñeira is somewhat less interesting than the one that starts from Augapesada, as it runs along a wide road with a lot of traffic and without much scenic charm.

Esta variante de ascenso a la Bola de Espiñeira es algo menos interesante que la que parte desde Augapesada, ya que discurre por una carretera ancha con bastante tráfico rodado y sin demasiado encanto paisajístico. Sin embargo, cuenta con el valor añadido de estar en un nodo de paso hacia numerosas rutas, por lo que puede constituir un interesante puerto de paso para muchas de ellas. La parte más interesante se concentra en los durísimos últimos 2 kilómetros, a los que accedemos a través de un pronunciado giro a mano izquierda (ojo al atravesar el carril contrario) y accediendo a la preciosa pista asfáltica definitiva.
