From 600m upwards, the road was empty, I didn't meet anyone, only at the top a motorcyclist. Great climb, silence and no car traffic.... read more

My favorite climb in the Malaga area. You really get a sense of climbing up the rock face. It’s a good climb for training, mostly even with only a handful of sharp hairpins. There is very little traffic once you pass Periana. The road quality is fine for climbing, but not amazing. I prefer to descend on the other side, down into Alfarnate, where you can enjoy a peaceful village.

Nice climb in two parts, both with fairly even gradients. Very little traffic and good surface.

Belle montée en deux parties, toutes deux avec des pentes assez régulières. Très peu de trafic automobile et bon revêtement.

I last rode the route in 2023 and my memory is nothing but good. There was almost no car traffic and the road surface was excellent. If you don't fancy a lot of motorized traffic, you should definitely drive up here, the ascent to Ventas de Zafarraya is certainly also worthwhile in terms of pure driving, but this is the main traffic road to the plateau.

Zuletzt bin ich die Strecke in 2023 gefahren und meine Erinnerung ist nur gut. Es gab fast keinen Autoverkehr und der Straßenbelag war hervorragend. Wer keine Lust auf viel motorisierten Verkehr hat sollte unbedingt hier hochfahren, der Anstieg nach Ventas de Zafarraya ist zwar sicherlich auch lohnend was das reine Fahren angeht, allerdings ist das die Haupt-Verkehrsstraße auf die Hochebene.

Nice gentle climb, unfortunately done in the rain so I could enjoy the views less. Spotted a nice rainbow though!

Mooie rustige klim, jammer genoeg in de regen gedaan waardoor ik minder van de uitzichten kon genieten. Wel een mooie regenboog gespot!

od 600m w góre pusta droga, nie spotkalem nikogo, dopiero na szczycie motocyklista. Wspanialy podjazd, ciszs i brak ruchu samochodowego.
