This paved port is famous because it has been included in the circuit of the Cycling Tour of Spain on several occasions. It is demanding, but worth the effort. Once at the summit, all that remains is to enjoy the splendid landscape.

It is difficult to get to the top but it is paved. Once at the top, very flat area in the shade of trees.
