Castelo de Ourém from Ourém via Rua Padre Gens

At just 2.7km, Castelo de Ourém from Ourém via Rua Padre Gens is short but deceptively intense — 168m of elevation packed into a brief, breathless effort. The average gradient of 6.1% disguises ramps of 12.9% — the kind of gradient that turns plans into prayers. The 4 hairpin turns break up the climb, each one revealing a new perspective on the road ahead. Located in Santarem, Portugal.
