Great 60km route! A few dangerous sections without a cycle path at the top of the first pass. The mountain route is fantastic! Very long descent on the return, which allows you to catch your breath (it's cold in December 🥶). Battery range is just about right on an e-bike 😅😅

Where the medieval castle of Mont-roig del Camp once stood, we now find the church of Sant Miquel. Designed to replace the old church, its construction took almost endless hours. Planning began in 1780, construction was halted in 1835, and the first mass was celebrated in 1946. Such a long wait was not in vain. Today, due to its size, the church is popularly known as the Cathedral of Baix Camp. Despite this, it remains unfinished, and it is the nearby Old Church that tells us the time thanks to its historic bell tower.

The town is situated at an altitude of over a hundred meters in the heart of this Spanish coastal region and is one of Catalonia's biggest tourist attractions. While the village of Mont-Roig del Camp itself is about five kilometers from the sea, Miami Playa—the seaside area—is located right on the beach. There you'll also find lively bars and restaurants. You can stay in the charming Mont-Roig del Camp at a campsite, hotel, or other accommodation.

Beautiful, but very built-in, making it difficult to take a nice photo.
