A long, flat climb of about 12 km with a 371 m difference in altitude. It is not very steep, but it has demanding and steady sections, especially in the first half.

The road is narrow and the asphalt is uneven at some points, but the scenery makes up for it: views of the sea, the nature of Cap de Creus and very little traffic.

A quiet and beautiful route, ideal for enjoying the surroundings without rushing.

Subida larga y tendida de unos 12 km con 371 m de desnivel. No es muy empinada, pero tiene tramos exigentes y constantes, especialmente en la primera mitad.

La carretera es estrecha y con asfalto irregular en algunos puntos, pero el paisaje compensa: vistas al mar, naturaleza del Cap de Creus y muy poco tráfico.

Una ruta tranquila y bonita, ideal para disfrutar del entorno sin prisas.

Very beautiful, but easy climb; fastest time is 33 km per hour...; I didn't make that by a long shot, but of course it says a lot; much calmer than the climb from Roses or Cadaques.

hele mooie, maar makkelijke klim; snelste tijd is 33 km per uur...; dat haalde ik bij lange na niet, maar zegt natuurlijk veel; veel rustiger dan de klim vanuit Roses of Cadaques.
