Itinerary description
This demanding route is a non-stop up-and-down affair, from the 50-km to the 120-km points, taking in the counties of Tarragonès, Alt Camp, Baix Camp and Priorat. The mountain passes of Batalla, Alforja, Arbolí, La Morera and Porrera-Teixeta, and over 3000 metres of accumulated climb, make this route a major "leg-breaker" that will satisfy the needs of cyclists up for a good climb. The fantastic views on the way down from Arbolí and from the municipality of La Morera de Montsant, in the foothills of the Montsant mountain range, more than make up for the toughness of this route. A veritable treat for the eyes, showcasing the entire Priorat as far as the Mountain passes of Tortosa-Beseit. The descent to Escala-Dei is breathtaking, which is also a place well worth returning to for a leisurely tour of the monastery. And there are still two mountain passes left (Porrera and Teixeta) before we begin to head back to Cambrils.
