I had higher expectations for the climb being so popular. Tarmac is really smooth and good, but as a climb it is pretty ordinary and relatively easy. The views were normal. No cafeterias open mid October weekday.

Quite a nice climb. Done both sides, the other side is steeper, so I prefer to descent on this one. All in all not a hard climb.

Very good asphalt on a comfortable ascent that from La Creueta is approximately 11 kms of ascent with the occasional break in between.

Muy buen asfalto de una subida cómoda que desde La Creueta son aproximadamente 11 kms de ascenso con algún que otro descanso de por medio.

Pleasant climb over gorgeous tarmac. At the top, drive on to the viewpoint, you can see all around nicely and get a glimpse of the sea.

Prettige klim over schitterend asfalt. Rijd bovenaan nog even door naar het uitzichtpunt, je kunt mooi rondom kijken en een blik op de zee werpen.

Beautiful climb. Don't be fooled
By the low average gradient. The black asphalt is as smooth as a billiard cloth. However buck hot in summer.
The descent to Madremanya is cool!

Prachtige klim. Laat je niet misleiden
Door het lage gemiddelde stijgingspercentage. Het zwarte asfalt is zo glad als een biljartlaken. Echter bokkeheet in de zomer.
De afdaling naar Madremanya is gaaf!

Lovely climb and quite spicy, consistent gradients. This is the toughest side. The other side is much less steep.

Little traffic.

Fijne klim om op te fietsen. Nooit heel steil en een mooie omgeving. Heel rustig en erg bekend onder de fietsers.

Probably the most popular climb in the area. It's right on Girona's doorstep, has little traffic (apart from cyclists) and a nice steady gradient most of the way up to the old monastery, where the views are. Good surface makes descending a pleasure too. If you have time I'd recommend going up and over the other side to Madremanya, rather than turning round at the top.

Wonderful climb in a beautiful region. Climbing percentages never really get high so you can divide your forces well. Biggest challenge is the heat if you do this climb in the summer like we did. Temperature of 41 degrees makes every climb difficult :). When you reach the top, there is a bar to drink something with a beautiful view. Be sure to turn left on the gravel for the last bit.

Schitterend klim in een prachtige regio. Klimpercentages worden nooit echt hoog dus je kunt goed je krachten verdelen. Grootste uitdaging is de hitte als je deze klim in de zomer doet zoals wij deden. Temperatuur van 41 graden maakt elke beklimming zwaar :). Als je boven bent is er een bar om wat te dringen met schitteren uitzicht. Zeker even het laatste stukje naar links afslaan op het gravel dus.
