If you are in the area, this is a climb you can add and then go back down via the Spanish side, with good tarmac! If you descend along the French side back down be very careful because deep potholes up to 20cm in the road. I almost fell through them once. Advice: cross the border before the descent and you have a beautiful descent with good tarmac and twisties....... read more

Als je in de buurt bent is dit wel een beklimming die je erbij kunt doen en dan via de Spaanse kant terug naar beneden, met goed asfalt!
Als je langs de franse kant terug afdaalt erg voorzichtig zijn want diepe putten tot 20cm in de weg. Ik ben er eens bijna door gevallen. Advies: ga voor de afdaling de grens over en je hebt een prachtige afdaling met goed asfalt en slingerbochten…
