The route

A paved climb to the Castiñeiras lake and Cotorredondo hill, in the range that separates the Ría de Pontevedra from the Ría de Vigo. The road climbs through pine and oak woods to the lake's picnic area, with tables and shade. It's a very popular training climb for riders from Pontevedra and Vigo, with quiet traffic on weekdays and more cars on Sundays. Water and coffee in the villages at the bottom before you start. You can ride it all year round; in winter watch out for damp and leaves on the bends on the way down.
