The Pico de Villuercas from Navezuelas is perhaps the lesser known climb than via Guadeloupa but definitely recommended. With its 20 km, the climb is very long but certainly not steep, rather a slight false flat but after 15 km it suddenly goes uphill. At 4 km from the top there are 2 kilometers of more than 13％ and peaks to more than 16％ but over shorter stretches. The road to the military base used to be a very bad stretch of road but has been resurfaced and is very good to drive on. Thi... read more

The Pico de Villuercas from Navezuelas is perhaps the lesser known climb than via Guadeloupa but definitely recommended. With its 20 km, the climb is very long but certainly not steep, rather a slight false flat but after 15 km it suddenly goes uphill. At 4 km from the top there are 2 kilometers of more than 13％ and peaks to more than 16％ but over shorter stretches. The road to the military base used to be a very bad stretch of road but has been resurfaced and is very good to drive on. This year ( 2021 ) it will even be the finish of a heavy stage in the Tour of Spain.

De Pico de Villuercas vanuit Navezuelas is misschien wel de minder bekende beklimming dan via Guadeloupa maar zeker een aanrader. Met zijn 20 km is de klim erg lang maar zeker niet steil , eerder een licht vals plat maar na 15 km gaat het plotseling erg bergop . Met op 4 km van de top 2 kilometers van meer dan 13％ en uitschieters tot meer dan 16％ maar over kortere stroken. De weg naar de militaire basis was vroeger een zeer slecht stuk weg maar is voorzien van een nieuwe bovenlaag en zeer goed berijdbaar. Dit jaar ( 2021 ) is het zelfs de aankomstplaats van een zware etappe in de ronde van Spanje.
