This climb is highly recommended; you do drive towards nowhere country but you can make several rounds from Murcia with this climb in them. My favourite is to return via the Cabezo de la Plata but for many the combination of climbing and heat is too much. The climb invites you to either ride quietly and enjoy the surroundings or go full throttle and burn yourself out all the way to the top! The road is clear and not very busy during the week.

This climb is highly recommended; you do drive towards nowhere country but you can make several rounds from Murcia with this climb in them. My favourite is to return via the Cabezo de la Plata but for many the combination of climbing and heat is too much. The climb invites you to either ride quietly and enjoy the surroundings or go full throttle and burn yourself out all the way to the top! The road is clear and not very busy during the week. The irregularity is not disturbing, because the percentages are not too high, it is nice to let the bike run without having to pedal again. A power climb for stoempers and a runner for experienced riders. Really enjoyable, and less than 30 minutes by bike you end up in an oasis of peace outside the capital Murcia.

Een aanrader deze klim, je rijdt wel richting nowhere land maar je kunt vanuit Murcia diverse rondjes maken met deze klim erin. Mijn favoriet is om terug te komen via de Cabezo de la Plata maar voor velen is de combinatie klimmen en hitte teveel van het goede. De klim nodigt uit tot of rustig rijden en genieten van de omgeving of vol gas jezelf leegrijden tot aan de top! De weg is overzichtelijk en niet erg druk door de week. De onregelmatigheid is niet storend, omdat de percentages niet te hoog gaan is het wel lekker om even de fiets te laten lopen zonder dat je even later weer vol op de trappers moet. Een powerklim voor stoempers en een loper voor ervaren rijders. Echt genieten waarbij je nog geen 30 fietsminuten buiten hoofdstad Murcia beland is een oase van rust.
