Beautiful long climb, you can start at the bottom of the coast. The start has fairly heavy traffic but there is a partial cycle path. At the roundabout, you can choose between the route through the village and the busier route to the motorway. The route to the motorway is busier but less steep because you go underneath it. Once you have passed the petrol station there is a little less traffic but faster. From the roundabout with the exit to Competa starts the really nice and quiet climb.... read more

mooie lange beklimming, je kan helemaal beneden aan de kust vertrekken. Het begin heeft redelijk druk verkeer maar er is een gedeeltelijk fietspad. Bij de rotonde kan je kiezen tussen de route via het dorp en de drukkere weg naar de autoweg. De route naar de autoweg is drukker maar minder steil omdat je eronderdoor gaat. Eens het benzinestation voorbij is er iets minder maar sneller rijdend verkeer. Vanaf de rotonde met de afslag naar Competa begint de echt mooie en rustige beklimming.

This climb can be combined nicely with the climb from Nerja to Frigliana. Continue cycling through Frigliana and later descend to Torrox, pick up this climb to Competa and then descend again from Competa to Algarobba Costa. In total, this will give you a ride of over 1200 altimeters on fairly quiet roads. The descent from Competa to the sea is nice and wide asphalt and looks like a highway with hairpin bends.

Deze klim kan mooi worden gecombineerd met de klim van Nerja naar Frigliana. Frigliana doorfietsen en later afdalen naar Torrox en daar deze klim naar Competa oppakken en dan vanuit Competa weer afdalen naar Algarobba Costa. In totaal kom je dan op een rit van ruim 1200 hoogtemeters op vrij rustige wegen. De afdaling van Competa naar zee is mooi breed asfalt en lijkt wel een snelweg met haarspeldbochten.
