The climb to Alto de Chavadoira on the southern slope, from Pola de Allande, is one of those ascents that best defines the character of western Asturias: narrow roads, mountainous surroundings, a steady gradient, and the feeling of being in a place far from the noise. It's not a mountain pass with impressive numbers, but it is one of continuity. The road itself is in good condition, but its narrowness and the presence of blind curves require caution, especially on the descent. Traffic is almost nonexistent, which enhances the experience, but doesn't eliminate the need to remain alert at all times. In terms of weather, the pass reflects the reality of the Asturian mountains: humidity, fog, and temperature changes are frequent, so it's advisable to always wear appropriate clothing even if the day seems stable at the start.

One of the great Asturian mountain passes, without a doubt. Generally unknown to the general public, it's rarely used in professional races. It has two clearly distinct slopes. The southern slope, which begins in Pola de Allande, is gentle and steady, along a road in good condition. It shares much of its climb with Puerto del Palo, which it turns off from just 3 km from the summit of Puerto de la Marta. The northern slope, which comes from Villayon, is uneven, with very tough sections and several rest stops and descents. It reminds me a lot of the Croix-de-Fer from Sant Jean de Maurienne, not because of the landscape, but because of the type of pass.

Beautiful climb with stunning views to Pola and El Palo. The pass will take you towards Bustantigo, with stunning views to the ancient Roman gold mine "La Freita" to then descend towards Viyallon or down to the enchanting village of Pontenova to then ascend to Montefurau. From Montefurau continue back to Pola de Allande via El Palo (enjoying a different perspective of La Freita) or towards Berducedo.

Fun climb uphill leaving Pola de Allande or downhill returning. 3rd Cat Pass that can be integrated in several loops starting or finishing in Pola de Allande. Several roads connect with road AS-217 (i.e. Ti-5, road to Sobrado, Ti-3 and AS- 350 to Piedratecha) to take you back to Pola via Gera.
