can't afford your bike, but as I am living so close I thought I might just to say hello!

hope nobody is upset about a photo without any bike.

don't know whether you ever cycled up there, is one of my favourite short climbs.

Never been there. Could you send me a track or something? Do you climb by road or mtb?

La Polacra

this called 'La Polacra' or 'Torre de los Lobos'. It is in the Parque Natural Cabo de Gata, the lighthouse above Playa de Playazo. There is a small road of to the left past Rodalquilar in direction to Las Negras. The surface is tarmac, just a few potholes. It is not as high as it looks on the photo, to do big climbs one has to go out of the park.

I ride a fully rigid Mountain bike on skinny tires but I climb like a roadie, for my bike that means middle ring middle sprocket. That roughly equals smallest gear on a road bike.
