Cáñar |The Climbs

Starting in the always interesting Órgiva, this climb must be counted as one of the most beautiful in the region. After leaving the town, you quickly lose count of the number of hairpins you've gone around as you climb up towards the typical white-washed village of Cáñar.  

This climb is steep, but excellently surfaced, with sections above 15% commonplace. Once you find your rhythm on this climb it really becomes a joy to ride. The views down onto Órgiva and the valley and mountains surrounding it are especially stunning on a sunny day.
