This is a long steady climb on a perfect road surface. It’s a main road but has very light traffic and a good cycle lane. Start among the banana plantations and weave your way up to the small roundabout at the top, very enjoyable climb and perfect for climbing intervals. I was over taken by team Visma doing just that.... read more

Nice steady incline that never gets too taxing. Traffic was quiet February 2026 and gave plenty space when they passed.

This is simply a steady and pleasant climb. The road surface is good, there are little cars and the views are quite nice, especially at the top

Beautiful climb for a number of reasons: I) very little traffic ii) great concrete road iii) lots of hairpins iv) great views. Goes on for a proper 12 clicks with a decent average. It hardly ever gets really steep, but it goes on for a long time. Only downside is that you have to take part of the same road back down
