The route

Climb to the La Estranguada pass by the Lloreda and Eslés side, in the Cayón valley, a short distance from Santander. The road is narrow with little traffic, and climbs between meadows, cattle farms and small woods up to the range that separates Cayón from the Pas valleys. It's a climb used a lot for training because it's so close to the city: at the top there are views of the bay and the Montes de Pas. The tarmac is fine but with uneven stretches; descend with care. There are bars in the valley villages; there are no reliable fountains on the climb. Best from spring to autumn; in winter, fog and damp rule.

Track based on OpenStreetMap (CIMA climb CA09-2) (ODbL).
