❚ Km 37 ⇝ 41 ❚ Short 3 km climb but enough to challenge your forces. The toughest sections are the start and the final kilometers, with steep gradients of 20%. The road is wide and in excellent condition. It is a residential area so expect some traffic during the climb and descend (in winter period is rather calm).
