The 13.87 km climb to Puerto del Morredero (Alto de Cruz) from Valdefrancos is very hard due to its length, gaining 854 m at an average 5.9% and reaching a height of 1,451 m above sea level. Go at your pace.

Long and hard climb. I recommend going up the Peñalba slope, the approach and the passage through the village are very pretty. One of the most beautiful in Spain.

For any cycling enthusiast, reaching mountain passes that the Vuelta has been to is a great achievement, or so it seems to me.
