The best traffic-free bike rides in Paratge Natural Municipal El Surar

One of the hardest, if not the hardest summits in my life. After the first right turn - you'll face a roadblocking chain, get on your feet, pass that, and keep going. Extremely important not to pedal over your FTP, keep steady smooth pace, otherwise you just won't make it. The views are 10/10. UP - use at least 1:1 gear ratio if you a +- 80 kg rider. Down - disc brakes are highly recommended.

Good place for lunch!!

Beautiful trail through the pine forest. It is recommended to do it from south to north, to make the most of the long descent down the mountain.

Restaurant with a good offer for lunch and much used by cyclists for breakfast on the routes that pass through the Serra de Quatretonda, the Pla de Corrals, the port of Barxeta-Simat or the Puig-Mola.

La Bastida is a corral and country house donated by the Benavent family to the town hall of Quatretonda and converted by it into a hostel-aula natura.

La Casa de la Bastida is an old farmhouse with corral renovated as a rural house and nature classroom.

Self-sufficient building in terms of obtaining energy, thanks to solar panels, as well as the water supply, coming from a source close to the house.

4.1 km climb on well-paved pavement suitable for mountain bikes, road bikes and of course gravel bikes. The first part of the Drova has two phases, one more bearable and another very hard, possibly the hardest of the entire climb. Before starting the second part there is a cutoff for car traffic so you should get off and take the opportunity to catch your breath because until the end you will have few breaks The second part is intermittent but you will never leave the slope with high %. The third and last part of the ascent has some bends that will make you raise both your heart rate and the 'bumps' on the bike. Take heart because it is not an easy climb and even less so if you do not have a development above the average in terms of the bikes on the market.

There are few options to achieve TOP of the Maneuver mauntain. The easiest one is just follow road for the special vehicles. Even if you have selected this option - you will have many challenging alternatives sections during hiking up. Better to make a hike by the good weather (no clouds). 360 degree view from the top is spectacular and one is able to see Ibiza/Formentera islands.
