All the colors of the Delta: brown in winter, blue in May, green in summer and yellow in September. A loop route through the Ebro Delta National Park, completely flat and easy to ride. A great example of the landscape variety in our territory.
Road conditions: Only one section with rough asphalt between Poblenou and Els Eucaliptus in the Delta. The rest is in excellent condition.
Traffic: Moderate traffic on the N-340 between Alcanar and the turnoff to Sant Carles de la Ràpita. Depending on the time of year, holidays or weekends, some roads in the Delta may be busier.
Refreshments: Recommended stop in Sant Jaume d’Enveja or Deltebre, but you’ll find services in any town along the route.
There are no mountain passes on this route.
Water: You can find fountains in the towns, but not along the open road sections.

In our area we have a major climb called Caro. It’s 13 km with an average gradient of 9%. But first, as an appetizer, there are 8 km at 3-4%. A real HC climb, no doubt. A route to discover it and part of the Ports Natural Park.
Since you’re in La Sénia, don’t miss the climbs of Bel, Boixar, Fredes, and Pallerols, all near the town and truly worth discovering.
Road conditions: Rough asphalt in the final 4 km of the Caro climb (from the residential area to the antennas). The rest of the route is in excellent condition. Narrow road from La Sénia to Mas de Barberans.
Traffic: Moderate on the C-12 leaving Roquetes, where there’s a 1 km stretch with no shoulder—caution required. The rest of the ride is quiet or very quiet.
Refreshments: A restaurant is available in the Caro residential area for a coffee or breakfast. Roquetes is also a good stop.
Climbs:
Mont Caro, km 52.900 – D+ 1,421 m – HC category – 18 km at 7.4%
Water: You’ll find fountains in the towns, but outside of them it’s hard to find water.
Morella - Torremiró - Fredes
Total distance: 155 km
Positive elevation gain: 2808 m+
Starting point: La Sénia
Finishing point: La Sénia

This route takes you to Morella via Vallibona, climbing Santa Àgueda and finishing with a spectacular ascent to Torremiró from both sides, especially the Herbés side. Once at the top, you’ll stay high for 25 km, on undulating terrain with many ramps. 155 km and almost 3,000 m of climbing that will leave you satisfied.
Road conditions: Rough asphalt in some descents between Rossell and Vallibona. Be careful as the route crosses the Servol river several times. The final part of the Santa Àgueda climb has rough tarmac, and the stretch between Castell de Cabres and El Boixar is very deteriorated. The rest of the route is in excellent condition.
Traffic: Moderate only on the N-232 section. Very low or nonexistent traffic elsewhere, especially between Rossell and Vallibona and from Penya-roja to Fredes.
Refreshments: You’ll find cafés and places to eat in all the towns along the route, but it’s highly recommended to enter Morella if you plan to stop.
Climbs:
Alt de Santa Àgueda, km 39.000 – D+ 1,147 m – 1st category – 8.4 km at 5.7%
Alt de Torremiró, km 65.200 – D+ 1,205 m – 2nd category – 10.1 km at 3.7%
Alt d’Herbés, km 108.300 – D+ 1,228 m – 1st category – 8.3 km at 5.1%
Water: Fountains available in towns, difficult to find outside.

The climbs of La Bandereta and La Valltorta are spectacular. The first is short but intense—only 4 km with an average gradient of 8%. The second is longer and gentler, but depending on how you ride it, can be tough. With this route, you’ll discover the Maestrat region: dry, tough, and wonderful.
Road conditions: Excellent asphalt throughout the route.
Traffic: Low throughout the route. Moderate traffic may be found between La Jana and La Venta de la Serafina (N-232), and from Benlloch to Les Coves de Vinromà (CV-10).
Refreshments: Available all along the route. We recommend stopping in Benlloch, where there’s a great cycling atmosphere.
Climbs:
La Bandereta – km 66.400 – D+ 783 m – 1st category – 4.8 km at 6.4%
La Valltorta – km 107.000 – D+ 511 m – 2nd category – 9.0 km at 3.1%
Water: Fountains available in towns along the route.

The landscapes of Terra Alta between Bot and Gandesa will surprise you. You’ll discover the passes of Bot and Som, not too difficult, but beautiful, and enjoy riding alongside the Ebro River. The route is not very tough, but 152 km still requires good preparation.
Road conditions: Excellent asphalt throughout. Be cautious on the descent between Pinell de Brai and Benifallet—it’s steep.
Traffic: Moderate on the C-12 between Tortosa and Xerta, and again between Tortosa and Vinallop. Leaving Tortosa, there’s a 1 km stretch with no shoulder.
Refreshments: Recommended stops in Bot or Gandesa, though you’ll find everything you need in any of the towns along the route.
Climbs:
Coll de Bot – km 62.100 – D+ 465 m – 3rd category – 6.6 km at 3.3%
Coll de Som – km 99.700 – D+ 187 m – 3rd category – 4.2 km at 3.9%
Water: Fountains available in towns along the route.
