This climb is a beast, but worth it. First part is tough, but fine and offers nice views. Then you get some relief for a few hundred meters and see a warning sign with “18%”. This leads to a few hairpin turns that leave you thinking “this is doable”, but then the real deal starts. Long stretches of 15% and up without any recovery. It will test your willpower, but you feel accomplished when reaching the top and the view can’t be beat.

Salvador Hedilla was a pioneer of aviation in Spain and in 1916 he became the first pilot to arrive from the peninsula to the Balearic Islands. As a pilot, instructor and mechanic, he made an important contribution to the development of the Spanish aeronautical industry at the beginning of the 20th century.

It is located in Ajo in the municipality of Bareyo. The Convent of San Idelfonso was ordered to be built in 1588 by Alonso de Camino, captain of Felipe II in Flanders. Currently, the convent is in ruins, although in recent years it was decided to restore and use the Convent of San Idelfonso as an important Romanesque Interpretation Center. The church is kept in good conservation. Check first that it is open. There is a town guide who explains it very well.

At the entrance roundabout to Castillo Siete Villas , a town in the Cantabrian municipality of Arnuero, this tribute to the pilot and neighbor Salvador Hedilla was inaugurated on July 2, 2016, coinciding with the centenary of the first flight he made from the Peninsula to the Balearic Islands, specifically from Barcelona to Palma de Mallorca. For this flight he used a monoplane designed by him and built under his direction, whose replica made by inmates of El Dueso Prison from a photograph and with materials provided by the city council can be seen in the roundabout. His feat earned him the Mediterranean Cup, a gold trophy donated by the King. https://espanabizarra-tumblr-com.translate.goog/post/166756867086/homenaje-salvador-hedilla-castillo-siete-villas?_x_tr_sl=es&_x_tr_tl=nl&_x_tr_hl=nl&_x_tr_pto=sc

Beautiful and very quiet section between trees, with very cool views of the region, although the road is very bumpy.
