Capelo from Vulcão

Azores, portugal

At just 1.9km, Capelo from Vulcão is short but deceptively intense — 72m of elevation packed into a brief, breathless effort. The gradient averages 3.7% — manageable for most riders, though the cumulative effort builds. 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.
