Nice climb at a stone's throw from the famous Picon Blanco. The climb is certainly not tough but with its 20 km it is quite long. The maximum gradient is 10 ％ and for the average trained and prepared cyclist it is a climb which is quite digestible. The road is not always good but very inviting. You cycle in an oasis of peace and green. There is also plenty of shade and beautiful scenery and nature.

Mooie beklimming op een boogscheut van de beroemde Picon Blanco. De beklimming is zeker niet zwaar maar met zijn 20 km behoorlijk lang . De max steiltegraad is 10 ％ en voor de modale getrainde en voorbereide wielertoerist een best verteerbare klim. De weg is niet overal even goed maar wel heel uitnodigend. Je fietst in een oase van rust en groen. Ook is er beel schaduw onderweg en een prachtige omgeving en natuur.
