Used several times in the Tour of Spain and being one of the alternative roads to reach Sierra Nevada. The real challenge begins in the small town of Monachil. From here, we will handle a quite tough climb section of 6 km always around 10% to reach its maximum slope in the quarry area where we will reach 16%.
