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.
