A climb that if or yes as a lover of cycling of the ports must be done. A climb with good asphalt and maintained, which gives you some rest and of course some incredible views from above. The traffic depends on the time of the year, but in general it usually has some.

Una ascensión que si o sí como amante del ciclismo de los puertos hay que hacer. Una subida con buen asfalta y mantenida, que te regala algún descanso y por supuesto unas vistas increíbles desde arriba. El tráfico depende de la época del año, pero por lo general suele tener algo.
