The Coll de l’Arca is the mountain pass that connects Joncosa del Montmell with Aiguaviva. Until a few years ago it was just a difficult track, but now with the paved road it has become a key point that gives life to both towns. From here begins the descent to Aiguaviva, fast and panoramic, ideal to enjoy it on MTB. In addition to the pass, the col is a connection point with routes to Cova Gran and other interesting paths that cross the mountain range. It is a perfect place to stop for a moment, breathe and decide where to continue, with the feeling of being in the heart of Montmell.

It's worth it, it's a Cistercian monastery

The path is very easy and pleasant.

Also known on maps as Alt de la Talaia (look it up on Google Maps to find it), it is a beautiful, accessible and quiet mountain pass that starts in Sant Jaume dels Domenys, in the Penedés region, to enter the interior mountain range of Catalonia, towards the La Conca de Barberà region. On the southwest side (Sant Jaume dels Domenys) it is 8.1 km with an average gradient of 4.3%, very constant throughout the entire climb. The climb is generally very panoramic, with the road marking beautiful hairpin bends in the middle part. The road is in perfect condition and traffic is almost non-existent. It is a port that I loved. In addition, the area offers many possibilities to connect with other towns of the style.

Very nice climb especially the last 150 meters 👍💪

It is a beautiful town in a very pleasant and quiet place, with very beautiful landscapes and views. You have to enjoy these places to practice cycling.

It is located in a rural environment of vine cultivation that has certainly been a mute witness to conflicts between the farmers, to dead rabassa contracts, to the appearance of phylloxera... but also to the prosperity of its inhabitants, of demographic growth, changes... Sant Joan de Lledó is a small church of Romanesque origin, whose factory has been modified over the years. It is one of the many testimonies that are part of the repopulating movement of these borderlands. It is a chapel with a single rectangular nave with an added side building, the sacristy, which has the shape of a pre-Romanesque apse. It has lateral buttresses and a raised apse, with a Romanesque window, in the Baroque period. It has a door on the west facade with an archivolt and above it, an open bull's eye and a redone bell tower. The chapel is located in the middle of vineyards, almond trees and olive trees.

Good routes to ride
