Vila-Seca – Alforja – Crestes de la Llena

Challenging road cycling route designed for gran fondo riders, connecting Vila-seca with the inland mountains of the Costa Daurada and the scenic Crestes de la Llena.

The route starts in Vila-seca, quickly leaving the coastal plain and heading inland towards Reus and Alforja. The first part serves as a gradual warm-up before the terrain becomes more demanding, entering a mountainous landscape with long and sustained climbs.

The central section is the most demanding, featuring significant elevation gain and continuous ascents through quiet rural roads and natural surroundings. The Crestes de la Llena area stands out as the highlight of the route, offering spectacular views and a true test of endurance for experienced cyclists.

After reaching the highest points, the route continues over rolling terrain before beginning a long descent back towards the coast. The final kilometres allow riders to recover on faster roads as the route returns to Vila-seca, completing a long and physically demanding loop.
