The little brother of the Morcuera pass is a pleasant and accessible climb, ideal for those looking for a moderate challenge. The route is not too demanding, which makes it perfect for enjoying the scenery without feeling overwhelmed. A highlight is the intermediate section, where after a gentle climb, we find ourselves with a slight descent of 1％ and a flat stretch that allows us to regain strength. Creonrecoedae that at this point there is a stone fountain on the right hand side, a refreshing stop is never a bad thing. Traffic is scarce, at least on weekdays, which adds to the experience. The ascent starts by going straight ahead, with a visible signpost indicating the way, while to the left is the route to La Morcuera. The first few metres are the hardest, with ramps if I remember correctly at 11-12％ of gradient, although fortunately it is only about 300 metres or so. Overall, a recommendable climb for those looking for a moderate challenge and to enjoy the scenery. Both this pass and the Morcuera, if you go from the bike path, you have a vending machine where you can find hot food, snacks, bike parts...

El hermano pequeño del puerto de La Morcuera es una subida agradable y accesible, ideal para aquellos que buscan un reto moderado. La ruta no es demasiado exigente, lo que la hace perfecta para disfrutar del paisaje sin sentirnos abrumados. Un punto destacable es el tramo intermedio, donde después de una subida suave, nos encontramos con un ligero descenso del 1％ y un tramo llano que nos permite recuperar fuerzas. Creonrecoedae que en este punto, se encuentra una fuente de piedra a mano derecha, una parada refrescante nunca viene mal. El tráfico es escaso, al menos entre semana, lo que añade un plus a la experiencia. La ascensión se inicia yendo recto, con un cartel visible que indica el camino, mientras que a la izquierda se encuentra la ruta hacia La Morcuera. Los primeros metros son los más duros, con rampas si mal no recuerdo al 11-12％ de pendiente, aunque afortunadamente son solo unos 300 metros cosa así. En general, una subida recomendable para aquellos que buscan un desafío moderado y disfrutar del paisaje. Tanto este puerto como la morcuera, si vais desde el carril bici, tenéis una máquina expendedora donde hay comida calientes snacks, repuestos para bicicleta...

Very enjoyable. As Jeroen says, smooth quiet roads, lovely scenery, and a work out without being too hard. Significantly easier than the nearby Morcuera, I would say, but worth doing, especially if like me today you haven't been on the road bike in a while.

The Puerto de Canencia is a nice and very beautiful climb. The climb is not too difficult, although the first part in Miraflores starts a lot steeper than the 7％ indicated here. Fortunately, this only lasts for about 500 metres. The climb goes through a beautiful pine tree forest and you will be treated to many views along the way. There are vistas where you can see Madrid (which lies 50 kilometres to the south). During the climb there is a sign every kilometre with the percentages of the climb. The road surface is top, also on the other side. A nice downhill ride. There is hardly any traffic, but sometimes tough Spaniards who drive fast uphill :)
This climb is a must! Also very nice in a loop in combination with the Puerto de la Morcuera.

De Puerto de Canencia is een leuke en erg mooie klim. De klim is niet al te moeilijk, hoewel het eerste stuk in Miraflores een stuk steiler begint dan de 7％ die hier is aangegeven. Gelukkig duurt dat maar een kleine 500 meter. De klim loopt door een mooi pijnbomenbos en je wordt onderweg getrakteerd op veel vergezichten. Er zijn doorkijkjes waar je Madrid (dat 50 kilometer zuidelijker ligt) kunt zien liggen. Tijdens de klim word je elke kilometer voorzien van een bordje met stijgingspercentages. Het wegdek is top, ook aan de andere kant. Lekker afdalen dus. Verkeer is er nauwelijks, wel soms taaie Spanjaarden die stevig hard naar boven rijden :)
Deze klim is een aanrader! Ook erg mooi in een lus in combinatie met de Puerto de la Morcuera.
