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.

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.

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!
