A nice climb over good tarmac. First part over a wide but quiet road. Second part over a narrower road that is even quieter. Once out of the forest, you have great views. Cycled in May and in the distance you can see the snowy peaks of, I suspect, the Sierra de Gredos. Last kilometres, though, a lot of small flies.... read more

Een mooie klim over goed asfalt. Eerste deel over een brede, maar rustige weg. Tweede deel over een smaller weggetje dat nog rustiger is. Eenmaal uit het bos heb je een prachtig uitzicht. In mei gefietst en in de verte zie je de besneeuwde toppen van, ik vermoed, de Sierra de Gredos. Laatste kilometers wel veel last van kleine vliegjes.

Very nice climb, no traffic at all in the morning.Rember to go all the way to the, from the sign you have to 300 meters and at the gate go left where there are a 20 meter gravel path to the top with a stunning view.

This col near Extremadura in the north of Spain and not so far from Portugal is not the most fun climb because it is a very big and wide road to the top but with a beautiful. Especially at the top you have a fantastic view. The road can be busy at times and sometimes not at all.
Note there is no protection by a bike path or the like.
The hardest part of the climb is halfway but the great danger of this col is that you get the view that it rises little and you will force yourself and it is soon an hour or more climbing.

Deze col nabij Extremadura in het noorden van Spanje en niet zo ver van Portugal is niet de meest leuke klim omdat het een zeer grote en brede weg is naar boven maar wel met een mooi .Vooral boven heb je een fantastisch uitzicht . De weg kan met zijn momenten druk zijn en soms totaal niet.
opgelet er is geen bescherming door een fietspad of dergelijke.
Het zwaarste stuk van de klim ligt halfweg maar het grote gevaar van deze col is dat je door de brede van de weg het uitzicht krijgt dat hij weinig stijgt en je je gaat forceren en het is gauw een uur of meer klimmen.
