great cycling routes from tortosa

Tortosa and Terres de l’Ebre are a privileged environment for those people who are passionate about cycling. The city of Tortosa has many bike routes to choose from, mostly of them are perfect for professional cyclists who seek to enhance their technical skills. Those who want to experience strong emotions and a phisical challange will find in this territory a network of lightly trafficked roads  and a natural place of incredible beauty and climb steeps.

One of the most tough experiencies that will allow you to know an important Tortosa’s treasure is the climb from the city to the top of Mont Caro. This route has been celebrated in the history of the Volta de Catalunya on several occasions, due to its technical and physical difficulties – ascending 1500 m in just over 20 km. However, once the summit is crowned, the views to all the Ebro’s valley and Delta are priceless.

Another option is to get to know the Ports Natural Park with all its charming villages. This massif, which connects Terres de l’Ebre with Valencia and Aragon, is crossed by multiple high-performance cycling routes that exceed 140 kilometers in length and has high gradients. Along these routes you can travel through towns such as Mas de Barberans, La Galera, La Sénia or Ulldecona, until you enter Aragon, visiting Fuentespalda and Vallderobres. They are all towns full of history and character. These itineraries also allow you to discover the impressive landscapes of the Terra Alta, passing through Arnes and Prat de Compte, and get to know the mountainous Valencian region of Els Ports and its capital Morella.

You can also take a circular route that connects the villages of Terres de l’Ebre surrounding Cardó-El Boix. If these routes are not enough, you can even venture with the XXL,  that combines paved roads and the ascent to Mont Caro, with a total gradient of up to 4,405 meters. A real challenge. Pure adrenaline!
