This climb to the Puerto de Panderruedas begins
in the very touristy village of Posada de Valdeón.
The ride takes place in the shade
of some magnificent mountain massifs of the Picos de Europa.
Unfortunately, these are only sometimes visible while cycling
because the road mostly runs through the forest.
The climb covers a net altitude gain of 543 meters.
Over the first 6 kilometers
the gradient varies considerably (2-8%) and measures
4.6%, on average.
The last 3 kilometers are harder (6-9%).
