Beautiful climb with views, more difficult at the end due to poor quality asphalt.

I rate it 4 stars because I climbed it when I was 14 years old and I don't remember exactly what it was like, but I remember a nice climb and in good condition.

A climb of 3 sections. A first section from A Pobra to the Cruceiro de Moldes with good asphalt and a flat climb. A second section from the Cruceiro to the viewpoint of Curota, with a first hard part and with asphalt that grips and a second up to the top with better asphalt and more tendida. And the third up to the Alto dos Forcados, here the asphalt is already very deteriorated and there is a small stretch of steep terrain. Be careful with the descent.

Subida de 3 tramos. Un primer tramo desde A Pobra hasta el Cruceiro de Moldes con buen asfalto y subida tendida. Un segundo tramo desde el Cruceiro hasta el mirador da Curota, con una primera parte dura y con asfalto q agarra y una segunda hasta la cima con mejor asfalto y más tendida. Y la tercera hasta el Alto dos Forcados, aquí ya el asfalto muy deteriorado y un tramo pequeño de esterrato. Ojo con el descenso.
