A climb without theatrics, the kind you gain meter by meter, that puts you in your place. El Rabizo doesn't impress with numbers, it impresses with consistency: a steady incline, a landscape that gradually closes in, and the feeling of being far removed from everything. At the top, there's no artificial reward, just clean air and the certainty of having done the work.

A quiet, historic crossing, one of those that doesn't make a fuss but has supported the road for centuries. The Bernesga River flows calmer here, as if it too is resting before continuing down the valley. A good spot to slow your pace, look at the water for a moment, and then get back on the bike. Watch the surface when entering and exiting the bridge; it looks easy, but you should be precise.

Here the valley stretches out and the Bernesga River reveals itself unhurriedly. There's no artifice or grand railings: just river, greenery, and an open horizon. It's one of those places that doesn't ask for a photo, it asks for silence. The wind often appears when you least expect it.

The path climbs gently and opens abruptly into a hollow where the wind is ever-present. It was once used by shepherds crossing with their livestock to the summer pastures, and the remains of old dry-stone walls that marked the way can still be seen. From the top, the landscape widens, and the feeling is one of being between two worlds: the valley behind you and the mountain that awaits ahead.

The Alba Bridge is an 18th-century structure spanning the Bernesga River. It is also known locally for a car accident involving some bullfighters in the 1920s. They were traveling in an open-top car and fell into the river. Local residents rushed to their aid, and the following year the bullfighters organized a town festival in gratitude.

From this point, several descents lead to the Bernesga Valley and La Robla. The views on a clear day are well worth a stop before dropping in.
