The Coll d'Alforja connects the Priorat wine region with the coastal area. The western approach from Priorat is winding and the gradient is steady. When traffic is light, this section promises a beautiful ascent and descent.

It's a gradual 5km climb with an average gradient of 4.8%, along a very winding road (as are all the roads in the area), which is usually busy on weekends.
The climb is mostly open and offers views, except for the final section which is covered by more vegetation.
Upon reaching the summit, leaving to the left the road that climbs higher to Castillejos and the Alto de la Mussara, on clear days with good visibility, you can even see the sea.
