De bedste landevejsruter omkring Coustouges

Nice short but steep climb on a quiet road.

This is one of the passes you can overcome to reach the Coll de Canes from its northern slopes (from Sant Joan de les Abadesses) and western slopes (from Ripoll). From both sides, it's a very easy climb, along a good road, and with beautiful panoramic views.

Small village of Rocabruna which can be reached by the GIV5223 road between Oix and Molló road. It is recognized for the Sanctuary of Rocabruna and for its scenic beauty.

Small town of L'Alta Garrotxa, architectural heritage of Catalonia, recognized for its high landscape value, natural diversity and its cobbled streets and houses, built on the Beget stream and the Torrent dels Trulls, which are saved with rock bridges . There are local craft shops and it's a perfect place to disconnect from everything.

A pass that is not too difficult to climb and offers a magnificent landscape when crossing the border at the summit.

There are only two roads running through the area of Prats de Molló and la Presta, one of them the general road of the Vallespir valley (D115, in Voló - Coll d'Ares), which connects the entire valley almost always, from the stretch between Prats de Molló and the Coll d'Ares, parallel to the course of the Tec. This road has a variant, the D115a, which from Prats de Molló follows the Tec upstream and leads to Hostalets, la Farga and Banys de la Presta, where it does a double one-way route, reaching Plananera.

It is a mountain pass located at an altitude of 1,513 metres, on the border between France and Spain, connecting Vallespir (France) with Ripollès (Catalonia, Spain). It is a historic and strategic place, used for centuries as a trade route and also during the Retirada (1939), when thousands of refugees crossed the pass fleeing the Spanish Civil War. Today, it is a popular hiking spot and offers spectacular panoramic views of the Pyrenees.

The Coll d'Ares is a mountain pass in the Pyrenees that joins the counties of Ripollès and Vallespir, between the municipal terms of Molló and the communal areas of Prats de Molló and la Presta. If we are lucky the views are spectacular. In my case I went up with a Gravel Bike along the road from Camprodon.
