The Puerto de La Braguía is a climb that connects the Pas Valley with the Toranzo Valley. It features a steady gradient through a green, mountainous environment. A popular feature of the Vuelta a España.

Ideal for taking a dip on hot days!

That's not correct. From Los Tornos, you can't see Lanestosa. :( If you went up the N-620, you've passed through Lanestosa. But from the top of the pass, what you see is Soba. ;) If you went up through Fresnedo, you can't see it either.

Spectacular panoramic views. Right in the valley ahead, Lanestosa, the westernmost town in Bizkaia bordering Cantabria.

You might not want to go up to the village because you're too lazy, but once you get there, I assure you, you won't regret it. You can walk up the stairs or bike along the road from the village exit (heading upriver). It's clear that this is a tourist destination because it's home to most of the area's bars and restaurants.

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 very charming place!

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