El Port de la Selva

Highlight • Settlement

It is a town that has traditionally been dedicated to fishing. Now tourism has displaced this activity and in high season you will find quite a lot of people. Many people come here to practice different types of water sports.

Wonderful road to Port de Selva

Highlight • Trail

Definetely the best downhill I've ever done. You feel you're going to jump to the sea.

Monastery of Sant Pere de Rodes

Highlight • Religious Site

A must-see in the region for all cyclists. A magnificent climb (on both sides), excellent road surface, and a superb monastery to visit!

Ascent to Coll de Banyuls from Espolla

Highlight (Segment) • Mountain Pass

The distance from the viewpoint to the border with France is about 8km, you will travel along a road without vehicles and with the occasional veteran cyclist who will surely repeat the area because the truth is that it is worth it. You will hardly use up battery, only in the final part of the section but very little (it seems like there is a lot of positive slope but that's all it seems...).

Banyuls Pass

Highlight • Mountain Pass

The approach from Catalonia is much more pleasant due to the incline, but longer and leads through a pretty, lonely landscape. The journey on the French side is short, but very tough. There is little car traffic on the entire route.

At the pass on the Catalan side there is a small but very solid, publicly accessible refuge with a table, oven and extra bedroom. There is also a spring there, but it only trickles very sparingly.

On the pass itself, several information and memorial plaques remind of the many people who had to flee to France via this pass before the repression by the Franco regime. At the Refugio there is a plaque commemorating two libertarian activists who were arrested here in 1977 and tortured to death in prison six months later.

View of Portbou

Highlight • Viewpoint

I did part of this route in Gravel in July and it's top level scenery, but it's better to do it with a pure road.

N-260a Ascent to Portbou and GR-92 Tunnel

Highlight (Segment) • Mountain Pass

Very nice climb. The side road winds its way up to the border over many hairpin bends. A highlight is the view of the huge Portbou freight railway station. If you don't have any energy left, you can take a shortcut on the highway through the tunnels.

Frare Pass (202 m)

Highlight (Segment) • Mountain Pass

Beautiful pass with great panoramas and impeccable surface. The view of the huge freight yard in the shape of an Ypsilon is particularly curious.
If you don't have any more grains for the pass, you can also drive through the tunnels by car.
