Hill climb on way to Finisterre.

[MickMac]

Brother going next week SDC to Finisterre, can only remember one short hill climb of any consequence cannot remember location ???

Look at the stages on gronze.
Day 1 has a 3km steep incline at the 10km mark.
Negreira to olveiroa has a steady incline.
And closer to Finisterre has a decline some might find difficult.

For someone starting from sdc for the first time, esp carrying their own luggage, or doing the gronze "stages", they might find it tough.

I misremembered the difficulty when I recommended it to a workmate and his wife in their late 50s. I said it was relatively flat and could be done in a long weekend.

Which is relatively true. Certainly less challenge than the initial stages of the frances from st jean pdp.

No this was a climb with seating halfway there was a cafe before climb, some recommended stopping before climb at cafe,
I did walk it was easy enough just can't remember location of climb.Checked Gronze maybe Alto de Mar. ??.

That's where I'm talking about. It's 10km outside Santiago and about 2-3 km of steep uphill
