The road is now closed for traffic at the border (top of the climb by the Col sign) but passable by bike. This means that the climb is very quiet 😀 and the descent on the Spanish side is fabulous with no traffic and a great road surface.
If you are in the area, do it - the last part is very steep (18) - or continue on to Spain via the old road.
Possibly also MTB routes.
Als je in de buurt ben zeker doen,laatste stuk bar steil (18％).Je kan ook nog door naar Spanje via de oude weg.
Eventueel ook nog MTB routes.
During my bicycle trip to Spain with my bike and trailer, I wanted to take the coastal road from Banyuls sur Mer to the Spanish border. The locals advised against this (dangerous for traffic), so I took the Col de Banyuls in the direction of Espolla. The first 7 km could be called touristy: along a small river through beautiful vineyards. The last 2.3 km were for me a horror with all that luggage: zigzagging up and stopping regularly to get my heart rate back to acceptable levels. Rarely had such a satisfied feeling on a "top".
Tijdens mijn fietstocht met bepakte fiets en aanhangwagen naar Spanje, wilde ik eigenlijk vanuit Banyuls sur Mer de kustweg nemen naar de Spaanse grens. Dit werd me afgeraden door lokale bewoners (gevaarlijk ivm verkeer), zodat ik de Col de Banyuls nam richting Espolla. De eerste 7 km was nog toeristisch te noemen: langs een riviertje door mooie wijngaarden. De laatste 2,3 kms waren voor mij een verschrikking met al die bagage: zigzaggend omhoog en regelmatig even stoppen om m'n hartslag weer op aanvaardbaar niveau te krijgen. Zelden zo'n voldaan gevoel gehad op een "top".
First 7 km not really a climb but through a beautiful valley with vineyards. Last 2 km on the other hand very spicy.
Eerste 7 km is niet echt een klim te noemen maar wel door een prachtige vallei met wijngaarden. Laatste 2 km daarentegen zeer pittig.
