This is a mountain pass I tackled toward the end—since I wasn’t coming from Salas—but even so, it’s 100% worth visiting and a must-see, especially with the new pavement they added at the end, since they wanted it to be a stage finish for the Vuelta.

Puerto que pille en su parte final, ya que no venía desde Salas, aún así es un puerto 100% recomendable que no puede faltar, y más con el asfaltado final que hicieron, ya que quisieron que fuera final de etapa de la Vuelta.
