バジェ・デ・メナの峠・トップ12

This is one of the best-known climbs in the province of Burgos, not only because it's always the star stage of the Vuelta a Burgos but also because it has appeared in key stages of the Vuelta a España, one of the three most important stage races in the world. A brutal eight-and-a-half-kilometer climb at an average gradient of over 9%.

Magnificent ascent to enjoy the landscape and the calm where a lot of minor cycling races in the province are circulated. It has a very regular percentage throughout the rise and only in half of it are percentages that reach 9%. There are views of the Cadagua valley through the Mena pass.

The Peña Angulo is 18.2 km long, has its highest point at 727 m and rises over a distance of about 18.2 km. The average slope of Peña Angulo is 2.9%.

Typical climb in the area that links the Sopuerta and Cadagua valleys, where it is not an extremely hard ascent, but the longevity of the kilometers makes it demanding.

The north wind almost always blows.

Parking, beginning of the path to the San Miguel lobera

A fantastic alternative to climb Los Tornos from Soba. A road in perfect condition where it is difficult to find another vehicle. The beginning of the itinerary to La Revilla is surrounded by forests and from Fresnedo the road changes slope and we can enjoy a panoramic view that goes from the Picón Blanco to the Sierra del Hornijo. In winter the view is even more spectacular with all those snowy mountains. After 10 kilometers of ascent, without any notable difficulty, we reached the intersection with the Los Tornos road from where we only had 2.8 kilometers left to reach the pass.
