The route
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%
