One of the toughest climbs in the Priorat region. It's nothing like the other side. The climb starts before Escaladei, specifically in the village of Viliella Baixa. From there to the top it's approximately 11 kilometers. From Escaladei, it's 4 kilometers, 3 of which are very tough, with gradients exceeding 10%, although interspersed with flatter sections. It's a MUST in this area.

The western entrance to La Morera de Montsant, a village on the edge of the natural park and mountains Serra de Montsant, is much steeper compared to the East. If you plan this section as departure, caution is advised. Some curves are confusing and the road sometimes bumpy and narrow. Scenic definitely a highlight - especially for those who like to drive uphill.
