The Riudecanyes Reservoir and Coll de la Teixeta loop immerses you in a Catalan landscape that combines the serenity of water with the majesty of mountains. Along its 37.7 miles (60.7 km), you'll cycle through wooded areas alongside the reservoir, cross olive groves, and venture into small villages like Pradell de la Teixeta. The experience is a blend of effort and visual reward, with the ascent to Coll de la Teixeta offering spectacular views of the Sierra de L'Argentera.
This is a challenging road cycling route, with an accumulated elevation gain of 3067 feet (935 meters) that will take you approximately 3 hours and 3 minutes. The roads are mostly paved, but some sections may have traffic or narrow shoulders, so stay alert. No special permits are required, but it's advisable to carry sufficient hydration and plan your ride to avoid the hottest hours, especially if you're looking for the best cycling conditions in the Riudecanyes area.
What makes this route remarkable is its ability to combine a significant physical challenge with a deep immersion in Tarragona's diverse landscape. From the shores of the reservoir, which has seen its water levels fluctuate, to the heights of Coll de la Teixeta, the route is a testament to the region's natural beauty. It's an excellent option for experienced cyclists seeking a long-distance adventure with panoramic views and varied terrain.
