The route

The most feared climb in La Vuelta since its debut in 1999. The first kilometres from La Vega are manageable, but the second half strings together ramps of over 20 %, including the famous Cueña les Cabres.

Fit a very low gear and save your strength: here it's not about going fast, it's about reaching the top.
