Nice climb, not much traffic except in the last 4.5k to the top I saw alot of cars and the lane is pretty narrow but newly paved. Sadly no nice viewpoint from the absolute top but makes up for it with plenty of views along the way and there are some viewpoints close to the top a bit further down.
The last few 100 meters are 13,6％ average according to the signage so it kicks up at the end

Definitely worth going the whole way to the top - brilliant surface and fantastic views. Just make sure you are aware of the weather as it can change very fast at the top. A few bends stay wet if it has rained as they are in the shade

Spectacular climb despite the fire that left everything devastated, worth the climb and enjoy the views of the entire coast of Marbella.

Beautiful climb with very good road especially in the last kilometers. The top can get very windy so be careful

Especially in the upper part, a very beautiful climb from Estepona. In the upper half, a newly asphalted road with little traffic but quite narrow through a nature reserve.

Not to be missed climb near Marbella/Estepona. Until the Penas Blancas the road is in good condition. After this it is 4km in lesser condition. The last 2km to the top was tarmaced 6 months ago and is in top condition. Beautiful views!
