Short, but quite spicy. Much quieter than the west side. From the top you hardly have to pedal to a terrace in Girona.

The steepest part of the climb up Els Angels! It's short but really nice!

Nice climb. Relatively steady climb and steeper than the other side. In my eyes, it is better to climb on this side, and descent on the other (you need less braking going down the other side).

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

Little traffic.

Would definitely do this one. You can make nice rounds and add this one.

Nice find. It's the 'wrong' way up to Els Angels, which people normally do from the Girona side. Well worth the effort - normally hardly any traffic, and a good surface.
