This segment starts near the coast from the outskirts of La Guapa and goes all the way up to the top at the village of Haza del Lino. It is a hard climb averaging 7% gradient, for almost 17km. The road surface is excellent. You will ride through the beautiful village of Polopos, which is just 6 kilometres before the end of the climb. You can either stop there of a coffee break or carry on to the top, where Restaurante Haza del Lino can be your final stop to recover.
