メリンダ・デ・バルデポレスの峠・トップ5

The Magdalena Pass is an excellent option for crossing from the Ebro Valley to the Pas Valley, avoiding the heavy traffic of the Escudo Pass. From its summit, there are magnificent views of the Escudo mountain range and the Ebro Reservoir. The Magdalena Pass can also be accessed from the Escudo Pass, but the route includes a technical section and some stretches of dense vegetation.

La Matanela Pass, 1,005 m. Border between Burgos and Cantabria, Meseta and Pas. From Burgos, it's known as La Magdalena. I copied the altimetry from altimetrias.net, which can be trusted.

A demanding but VERY beautiful route. The Estacas de Trueba pass is absolutely spectacular!

It is a beautiful place and well worth it.

The port of La Matanela is a mountain pass on the southern limit of the Pasiegas Mountains. It is located 17.4 km from Vega de Pas and 13 from the Escudo port, which is reached after crossing the Magdalena pass.2 It has an average slope of 3% from the town of San Pedro.

The port of Carrales is a mountain pass in the Cantabrian mountain range (Spain), which connects the Burgos municipalities of Alfoz de Bricia, Valle de Valdebezana, and the Cantabrian Valderredible, in the transition zone between the northern sub-plateau and the mountains cantabrian

The port of La Matanela represents the geographical limit between Cantabria and Burgos. Located at 971 meters above sea level, it offers beautiful views of both provinces.

I will never forget the welcome that Cantabria gave me with those views when I reached the top.
