Rear of the Ratpenat with beautiful views, it is a very exposed area so be careful with the high temperatures in summer.

Good road, with good views. Very up and down.

This area often feels a lot warmer than most other areas near Barcelona. You are very exposed to the sun. Which is super nice during the winter.

I also recommend doing this segment from Olivella, and then descent Rat Penat instead. Then you get to appreciate the amazing views over the park and the sea.

I guess the same views are available if you come from Rat Penat. But my brain and legs are usually a total mess after that 😂

Aaand don't underestimate this part if you are coming from Rat Penat. Legs are tired and it's still a good amount of ramp climbing.

Refill on water at the playground. The water options are few when you continue on.
