Great road with sea views and a pleasant gradient. Goes nicely through the banana plantations. The start is at Puerto Espindola, at the top in Los Sauces there are several places to stop for refreshments and the best pizzeria on the island ;) This climb is also the exact route of the Cronoescalada San Andres Y Sauces mountain time trial, which takes place every year in September.
