Wonderful climb back from the cape! Nice bends, rocks, forest. Quite a few cars. Ride up and down to the cape is a must.... read more

The best way to climb up Coll de la Creueta! Couple of vicious hairpins and percentage uphill especially since you've already had to climb before this. The descent towards the town is ideal for taking speed. Just be aware that it can be busy here in terms of traffic.

De beste kant om Coll de la Creueta op te klimmen! Paar venijnige haarspeldbochtjes en procentjes omhoog zeker omdat je hiervoor al hebt moeten klimmen. De afdaling richting de stad is ideaal om snelheid te nemen. Let wel op dat het hier druk kan zijn qua verkeer.

If you go there (to Cap Formentor) you have to come back.

Wer hin fährt (zum Cap Formentor) muß auch wieder zurück.

Don’t know how many times we’ve done this but it’s worth the effort every single time.

This side of the Crueta felt a bit shorter and steeper to me than the other side. When I cycled here in early October, it was very crowded and I had to put my foot down because buses could not make the turn in the hairpin due to other traffic. The crowds detracted a lot from the experience for me.

Deze zijde van de Crueta voelde voor mij wat korter en steiler dan de andere kant. Toen ik hier begin oktober fietste was het er wel heel druk en moest ik voet aan de grond zetten doordat bussen niet in de haarspeldbocht door ander verkeer de bocht niet konden maken. De drukte deed voor mij veel af aan de beleving.

Wonderful climb back from the cape! Nice bends, rocks, forest. Quite a few cars. Ride up and down to the cape is a must.

Prachtige klim terug vanuit de kaap! Mooie bochten, rotsen, bos. Wel behoorlijk wat auto’s. Ritje naar de kaap op en neer is een aanrader.
