This is one of the most legendary mountain passes in Catalonia. The downside is the amount of traffic, although they tend to respect cyclists. Just before reaching the car park there are usually queues of cars of at least one kilometre long and you have to be careful when overtaking them.... read more

Es uno de los puertos míticos de Catalunya. La pega es la cantidad de tráfico que hay, aunque suelen respetar a los ciclistas. Justo antes de llegar al parking se suelen formar colas de coches de un kilómetro por lo menos y ese tramo hay que vigilar al adelantarlos.

Very Nice climb, not to hard (only three times goes over 10%) but really beautful nature and views around. In mid April only few cars and some buses went up. Believe in high touristic season there is more people driving up to the monestry (regarding a hundreds parking places available). Beatiful place at the end of the climb. Like "stairway to heaven" monument.

Last summer, I did this climb with my father. The climb itself is fun and not hard to do. Especially the views you encounter on the way are worthwhile. Once you get to the top, there is a beautiful monastery hidden between the rocks that is definitely worth a visit.

So all in all, I would definitely recommend this climb if you are near Barcelona!

Afgelopen zomer heb ik deze beklimming samen met mijn vader gedaan. De beklimming zelf is leuk en niet zwaar om te doen. Vooral de uitzichten die je onderweg tegenkomt zijn de moeite waard. Eenmaal boven gekomen dan ligt er tussen de rotsen een prachtig klooster verscholen die het zeker waard is om te bezoeken.

Dus al met al zou ik deze beklimming zeker aanraden als je in de buurt van Barcelona bent!
