A very interesting landmark that is definitely worth a visit.

This mountain pass has been used as the final stage in several editions of the Vuelta, and is notable for its toughness in the final part, with very steep slopes that have tested many cyclists. The steep gradients in the final kilometres, which in some sections reach more than 20%, make La Camparona a feared and decisive mountain pass in the race.

Medieval Tower that you cannot miss.
