Caminho do Facho via Ladeira de Santa Rita
Azores, portugal
At just 1.9km, Caminho do Facho via Ladeira de Santa Rita is short but deceptively intense — 73m of elevation packed into a brief, breathless effort. The average gradient of 3.8% disguises ramps of 9.7% — the kind of gradient that turns plans into prayers. It's over before the legs know what happened — a short, explosive effort where momentum is everything. Located in Azores, Portugal.
- A false flat around km 1 offers brief respite before the road kicks up again.
- A gentler outing by Portugal standards — a good introduction to the country's climbing.
