This segment contains a succession of short but very steep climbs (15-20%!). If you're doing a longer ride, this will really burn up your energy. If I was to do it again, I would look for a workaround.

Be careful, the tour includes a gravel descent much longer than the 721m indicated!!!! Otherwise it climbs from the beginning. The passes are regular but there are several ramps beyond 15% up to 20%. Several tricky descents if they are wet. In short, the Basque Country in all its difficulty!
