Etapa 4 de la Ruta dels Bons Homes

Ascending stage with 900 meters of positive slope and only 300 meters of negative unevenness, although gratifying, especially in summer, since much of the route runs along the Segre River and the Carol River. In general terms, the route does not present many technical complications, although on a couple of occasions it will be necessary to push the bicycle to overcome short sections impossible to pedal. We start the day looking for the Sender of the Segre, which is actually a combination of trails and clues on both sides of the river. We will follow this path beyond Soriguerola during the first 14 km of the route, with just 100 meters of positive slope. During this section, we will cross the river three times (one of them for the emblematic Sanavastre lever) and enjoy really entertaining sections along sinuous paths that require our attention. After Soriguerola, we will reach a small asphalted road through which we will last cross the Segre river, this time to get away from it and approach one of its tributaries, the Carol River. After 4 km, we will pass in front of the Hermitage of the Remei and a little later, we will definitely abandon the asphalt to ascend to Guils de Cerdanya (source) by track. Later, the road gives us a respite by descending to the Querol tor (Latour-de-Carol, Km 25) and meet again with the river. The last 14 km of the stage we will travel by tracing the Carol River, in an itinerary that becomes increasingly technical as we gain height. It is worth stopping in this section to visit Querol’s castle before arriving in Porta and, finally, to Porté.
