Quite demanding ascent, which is rewarded by a great all-round view (when you see the Picos de Europa).
The last section in particular is brutal with up to 18% and offers hardly any time to breathe, the profile displayed on Komoot does not do it justice. The street painting shows that stages of the Vuelta already ended here.

This climb is a beast, but worth it. First part is tough, but fine and offers nice views. Then you get some relief for a few hundred meters and see a warning sign with “18%”. This leads to a few hairpin turns that leave you thinking “this is doable”, but then the real deal starts. Long stretches of 15% and up without any recovery. It will test your willpower, but you feel accomplished when reaching the top and the view can’t be beat.
