Pico Villuercas via Guadalupe

The Ex-118 rises 16.3km through wooded valleys and open mountainside, gaining 1,060m to 1,580m. The average gradient of 6.5% disguises ramps of 13.5% — the kind of gradient that turns plans into prayers. The 9 hairpin turns break up the climb, each one revealing a new perspective on the road ahead. The road reaches 1,580m — high enough to feel the altitude on tired legs. Located in Extremadura, Spain.
