The Coll de l’Arca is the mountain pass that connects Joncosa del Montmell with Aiguaviva. Until a few years ago it was just a difficult track, but now with the paved road it has become a key point that gives life to both towns. From here begins the descent to Aiguaviva, fast and panoramic, ideal to enjoy it on MTB. In addition to the pass, the col is a connection point with routes to Cova Gran and other interesting paths that cross the mountain range. It is a perfect place to stop for a moment, breathe and decide where to continue, with the feeling of being in the heart of Montmell.

Tough loose cli.b, Best done in cool conditions. Can be very 🔥. Loose descent on the west side, but great track

Also known on maps as Alt de la Talaia (look it up on Google Maps to find it), it is a beautiful, accessible and quiet mountain pass that starts in Sant Jaume dels Domenys, in the Penedés region, to enter the interior mountain range of Catalonia, towards the La Conca de Barberà region. On the southwest side (Sant Jaume dels Domenys) it is 8.1 km with an average gradient of 4.3%, very constant throughout the entire climb. The climb is generally very panoramic, with the road marking beautiful hairpin bends in the middle part. The road is in perfect condition and traffic is almost non-existent. It is a port that I loved. In addition, the area offers many possibilities to connect with other towns of the style.

The climb to Les Ventoses is one of the most popular in the area, with its seven kilometers and a very constant average gradient of 4.5%, which never goes beyond 6%. It is always frequented by cyclists and has a low level of road traffic. The road is perfectly paved and as it goes up, it allows you to contemplate a beautiful panoramic view of the Penedès plain and even the Mediterranean Sea, thanks to its numerous horseshoe curves.

This port has two slopes, Juncosa del Montmell and Aiguaviva. Both are hard, with percentages of more than 10%, but the one that comes from Juncosa is the hardest thanks to its hard final section of 17%, with two horseshoe curves in a row that do not allow any rest. It allows to connect both the Bisbal del Penedès and Rodonyà with Aiguaviva and the road from Sant Jaume dels Domenys to the Plana de Manlleu.

This stretch of road joins the towns of Pontons and Torrelles de Foix, following the gorge created by the Pontons stream. It covers a distance of 5.5 kilometers and has a gentle gradient of 3.7%, although reaching Pontons there is the greatest unevenness, with ramps with values close to 9%.

This mountain pass can be crowned by three slopes: from La Llacuna it is 4.1 kilometers long and has an average gradient of 4.8%, from Sant Martí Sarroca, 14.1 kilometers and 3.6%, and from the diversion of the Pontons road, 6.1 kilometers and 5.6%. All the slopes are very calm, with very little traffic. The slope from the Pontons turnoff has the road surface in the worst condition, since it is a paved road while the other two are well paved roads.

Mountain pass to overcome between Figuerola and Prenafeta and from which you can see the Tossal Gros mountain of Miramar.

Highly recommended. Beautiful port to include in your route between Penedès and Tarragona.

Coll de Ventoses, is a port with impressive views, there was a lot influx of cyclists. The port itself becomes bearable, without large ramps.

user_tips_translated_by•user_tips_view_original

The locals call it 'climb the suction cups'. It is a port not excessively long or complicated, but with great views, very very little traffic and good asphalt. It is a passage section of many of the circular routes from Vilafranca and surroundings. Highly recommended.
