The small climb itself is really great with perfect asphalt and virtually no traffic. At the end, the Mirador de Cerro Gordo awaits with a perfect view to the west over the Mediterranean.

You can take the small winding road through the residential area beforehand to avoid the N340 completely. The small climb itself is really great with perfect asphalt and virtually no traffic. At the end, the Mirador de Cerro Gordo awaits with a perfect view to the west over the Mediterranean. As already mentioned, the descent on the other side is in much worse asphalt condition, but still not bad to ride on 28mm tubeless tires. If you want to go back down to La Herradura, it is definitely worth taking the N340, the asphalt is perfect and the traffic is much less of a nuisance downhill.
Man kann zuvor die kleine Serpentinenstraße durch das Wohngebiet nehmen, um die N340 komplett zu vermeiden. Der kleine Anstieg an sich ist wirklich toll mit perfektem Asphalt und quasi keinem Verkehr. Am Ende wartet dann das Mirador de Cerro Gordo mit perfektem Auswblick nach Westen auf das Mittelmeer. Wie bereits vermerkt ist die Abfahrt auf der anderen Seite in deutlich schlechterem Asphaltzustand, aber auf 28mm Tubeless trotzdem nicht schlecht zu fahren. Will man wieder nach La Herradura runter so lohnt sich dann auf jeden Fall die N340 zu nehmen, der Asphalt ist perfekt und bergab stört der Verkehr viel weniger.
The route was resurfaced in 2024 and is magnificent. A very fine ascent, made several times. It's a shame that the side leading down to Nerja has not yet been resurfaced.
La route a été réasphaltée en 2024 et est magnifique. Très belle ascension faite plusieurs fois. Dommage que le côté qui descend vers Nerja n’a pas encore été refait
Worn tarmac, very little traffic because an otherwise unused road since there is a tunnel. Lovely view from the top
Versleten asfalt, zeer weinig verkeer want een verder ongebruikte weg sinds er een tunnel is. M.ooi uitzicht op de top
