Οι καλύτερες ποδηλατικές διαδρομές στη Λα Μασάνα

After the very strenuous climb on the Spanish side to Port des Cabús, which leads over long stretches of gravel, this descent is a welcome and rapid descent. For many kilometers, you roll swiftly downhill, passing spectacular views. After the peace and solitude of the port, the signs of urban life gradually come to the fore, until you finally arrive in the hustle and bustle of Andorra's capital.

Very steep. Only the last few kilometers level off somewhat. Poor views of the pass. However, many professional cyclists can be spotted along the way.

The Cabús Pass is a mountain pass that crosses the Pyrenees at 2,302 m above sea level. It is located on the border between Andorra and Spain, between the parish of La Massana and the municipality of Alins. Only the Andorran side is paved. From Alins, in the High Pyrenees, the climb is impressive and involves paths and trails that are not always in good condition.

The little church of Sant Cristòfol overlooks the Serra del Honor, which recalls the army of Charlemagne who, almost overwhelmed by the Arabs, fought until an unexpected victory, harangued by the king.

Porta Estellar, or Arcalìs 91, also known as the "O" of Ordino, in reference to the name of the Parish. It is the work of the Italian Mario Staccioli.

Beautiful Romanesque church with a bell tower. Typical construction of Andorran Romanesque architecture.

You go down the center by bike. Stop at the Gir, a cafeteria with something more focused on cyclists.

For me, Encamp is my favourite training pass. It is demanding at first but then it becomes more bearable.
