アンギアノの峠・トップ8

The Cumbres de la Demanda are a series of peaks located in the Sierra de la Demanda, which stretches between La Rioja, Burgos, and Soria. The route covers several of the highest peaks, including Pico San Millán (2,132 meters), the highest in the province of Burgos.

One of the most mythical ports for cyclists from La Rioja and especially for those from Logroño.

The port of Peña Hincada has good asphalt and horizontal signage. It is a road with little vehicle traffic. Shadows abound up to Brieva to disappear from that core to the top, totally stark in its most demanding part. Be very careful if it is done in winter, check the weather beforehand.

The port of La Rasa is one of the busiest ports for the Tour of La Rioja, where it is considered a first-class port. The slope that ascends from the Iregua river is somewhat harder than its opposite, although the distance is somewhat similar. You will find successive horseshoe curves that allow you to gain perspective of the valley.

The port of Canto Hincado (also called Peña Hincada) owes its name to the menhir found there. In case of need, we have the Peñahincada refuge 200 meters to the west and another refuge, Cantohincada, a couple of kilometers to the east.

Mountain port that reaches more than 1400 meters high and where it is one of the most legendary ports in the province of Logroño. It connects the towns of Brieva with the center of Ortigosa.

Crossroads of paths, confluence of the GR 190, the Bonicaparra track, the Tres Aguas path.... Meadows usually colonized by cattle.

The high peaks of the Sierra de la Demanda are consecrated summits, they have the names of saints and as such they show kind and friendly reliefs on the slopes of all the slopes, except in the glacial cirques excavated in the plinths of some north faces, surpassing the meritorious height of two thousand meters, a mountain category that reaches a remarkable level of consideration when the winter covers with snow the enormous peaks of the mountain range that contains the geographical ceilings of the provinces of Burgos and La Rioja. Reaching the peaks of Demand with the dynamic trail team, in winter, is a fantastic mountaineering activity, the snow is usually windy and hard on the exposed slopes and crests of the main rope so it's not too uncomfortable to run on the white blanket , also taking into account that the approaches to the sacred territory of the peaks are through forest tracks and old mountain paths with dizzying slopes in the San Lorenzo massif.
