Life is magnificent... worth coming for that alone. The surface is purely excellent. The climb features 3 "butt hits" at nearly 15%, which you can't see in the profile but will notice as you climb!

La vie est magnifique… rien que pour cela vaut le coup de venir. Le revêtement est purement excellent. La montée présente 3 « coups de cul » à près de 15%, ce qui ne se voit pas dans le profil mais dont vous vous en apercevrez en grimpant !

A demanding and panoramic climb, with about 8 km and 500 m of elevation gain. The toughest slopes are concentrated in the first half, with stretches of more than 10%, but the effort is compensated by impressive views of the Mediterranean and Cap de Creus.

The road is in good condition, with constant bends and very little traffic. The arrival at the monastery offers an epic finish in a unique historical setting.

A tough climb but highly recommended, both for the challenge and the scenery.

Una ascensión exigente y panorámica, con unos 8 km y 500 m de desnivel. Las rampas más duras se concentran en la primera mitad, con tramos que superan el 10%, pero el esfuerzo se compensa con vistas impresionantes del Mediterráneo y el Cap de Creus.

Carretera en buen estado, con curvas constantes y muy poco tráfico. La llegada al monasterio ofrece un final épico en un entorno histórico único.

Una subida dura pero muy recomendable, tanto por el desafío como por el paisaje.

Setting off relatively early from Llançà, the climb is made without crossing any traffic, except to reach the foot of a short wall at the start of the ascent. The gradients are high in places, particularly on 2-3 hairpin bends. The reward is great all the way up, with views of the coves of Llançà and the Port de la Selva, especially at the summit. On the way back down along the same route, an optical effect causes the road to fall into the sea.

Parti relativement tôt de Llançà, la montée se fait sans croiser de circulation mis à part pour rejoindre le pied constitué d'un court mur pour débuter l'ascension. Les pourcentages sont élevés par endroit notamment sur 2-3 virages en épingle. La récompense est grande tout au long de la montée avec des vues sur les anses de Llançà et du port de la Selva surtout arrivé au sommet. En redescendant par le même itinéraire, un effet d'optique fait tomber la route dans la mer

Heerlijk pittige fietsberg in mijn geliefde vakantieplaats El Port de la Selva. Ik kijk er heel het jaar naar uit om weer omhoog te gaan. Prachtige vergezichten en asfalt sinds 2019 perfect!

A 7.7 Km climb from El port de la Selva with an average of 6.6 % and 512 m difference in altitude, with many sections of 8 % and more, with a small peak of 19 %. The climb starts in the coastal town directly at 13.6 % to wake up your legs. Beautiful cycling environment along hairpin bends on a well maintained asphalt road.
Not too much traffic and all car drivers keep their distance from the cyclist and is also indicated by road signs along the way.

Pittige klim vanuit El port de la Selva van 7.7 Km aan een gemiddelde van 6.6 % en 512 hoogte verschil en waar er veel stukken tussen zitten van 8% en meer met een kleine uitschieter tot 19%. De klim start in het kuststadje direct aan 13.6 % om je benen wakker te maken. Mooie fiets omgeving langs haarspeldbochten op een goed onderhouden asfaltbaan.
Niet te druk van verkeer en alle auto bestuurders houden afstand van de fietser en is ook aangeduid met verkeersborden langs de weg.
