Most racing cyclists will make
the climb to the Alto del Cordal from La Vega
on the way back from the Angliru.
Due to its many curves, this ride is not boring.
Nowhere the road is really steep and
most 500 meter segments have a gradient of 6 or 7%.
The landscape surrounding the road is overwhelmingly green
and is probably also characterized by mountains,
which we didn't see, however,
because we cycled through fog and drizzle, as so often in Asturias.
We saw almost no traffic here.
