I only rode the second half, as I went in the late afternoon. The road is narrow and quite busy, and along the way, you'll encounter a lot of domestic animals – horses, cows, goats, and even pigs (which are the most dangerous because they are skittish). The climb is nice, with beautiful views and a national route. Don’t forget your lights.
