メリンダ・デ・モンティヤの峠・トップ7

very windy, wrap up well

Starting point of the route to El Mazo, El Reluso, El Cordón de la Cuchilla and the Redux Window.

Mountain pass that divides the Karrantza Valley from the Lanestosa Valley, the last town in Bizkaia.

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%.

El Picón Blanco is a well-known mountain pass, very popular among road cyclists, although it is gaining popularity among donkey lovers, since it can be reached by a forest track in good condition for those who prefer to avoid asphalt. From here it is usually connected to the port of La Sía, the most popular among the ports of Pas.

"Pass" height at 641 meters with a pretty nice view.

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.

Although it is a bit gloomy, it could be a good safeguard
