The ascent to the Coll de Alforja starts with some progressive straights that become a little heavy. Then comes the steepest climb and we are doing quite well with our MTB until we reach the signpost.

La subida al Coll de Alforja empieza con unas rectas progresivas que se hacen un poco pesadas. Después ya nos viene la subida más pronunciada y vamos haciendo bastante bien con nuestra BTT hasta el cartel indicador.

The climb from les Borges del Camp has two distinct parts. The first has a gentle slope and long straight stretches that are a little heavy. The second part, from Alforja onwards, has more of a mountain pass atmosphere with a steeper gradient and curves, with some very nice views as you go up.

La subida desde les Borges del Camp tiene dos partes bien diferenciadas. La primera con poca pendiente y unas rectas largas que se hacen un poco pesadas. La segunda parte, a partir de Alforja ya con un ambiente más de puerto de montaña con más pendiente y curvas, con unas vistas muy bonitas a medida que vas ascendiendo.

Good little climb. I didn't realise it was 12km in total because the start was very gradual. We came from the Priorat wine region (super dry), but at the top of this climb it was cold and started to rain. So, let's do it again!

Prima klimmetje. Ik heb niet als zodanig doorgehad dat het in totaal 12km was omdat het begin heel geleidelijk verliep. Wij kwamen uit de Priorat wijnstreek (super droog), maar op de top van deze klim was het koud en begon het te regenen. Nog maar een keer doen dus!
