Quiet path parallel to the main road. It starts the climb on asphalt which turns to concrete in the middle zone and ends on asphalt again. First hard kilometre after which you have an area to recover before the next wall. 1'5 kilometres at over 12％ with peaks above 25％ before linking up with the main road after a descent.

Camino tranquilo paralelo a la carretera principal. Inicia la subida sobre asfalto que pasa a ser hormigón en la zona intermedia y finaliza en asfalto de nuevo. Primer kilómetro duro tras el cual tienes una zona para recuperar antes del muro que viene. 1'5 kilómetros a más del 12％ con puntas por encima del 25％ antes de enlazar con la carretera principal tras una bajada. Desde aquí hasta la cima algo más de un kilometro con pendiente constante en torno al 7％.
