La Coroniella from Meré

At just 1.5km, La Coroniella from Meré is short but deceptively intense — 98m of elevation packed into a brief, breathless effort. The average gradient of 6.5% disguises ramps of 13.3% — 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 Asturias, Spain.
