The climb
Collado del Alguacil climbs 8.3 km at an average of 10.0%, gaining 830 m to a summit at 1,880 m. The gradient barely moves: kilometre after kilometre sits within a point of that average, so the figure describes the whole climb rather than smoothing anything out.
The hardest kilometre measures 11.2% and comes in the middle third of the climb, and 7 kilometres of the ascent average more than 8%, 4 of them above 10%.
