ボタレルの峠・トップ12

I love it! The summit is approaching!

Easy but deceptive climb!

Pass between Tarragona and towards Teruel along the N420. It is also a crossing point for the GR7, on a gravel route you can follow the Porrera path towards Argentera, under the cliffs of the Serra de Llaberia.

This mountain pass is the passage from the Serra de Montsant towards the Serra de Llaberia, and is also a crossroads between Tarragona and Aragon, towards Alcanyís on the N420. It is also a crossing point for the GR7.

Beautiful pass in Catalonia

El Puig d'en Cama is a hill located in the Selva del Camp area, the entire summit is above Almoster, Baix Camp region, approximately north of Reus, Castellvell del Camp and Almoster, west of the Selva del Camp and east of Aleixar. It is part of the first stirrups of the Prades mountains. It is 717 meters high. At the top we can find a geodesic vertex (reference 263134001). This peak is included in the Challenge of 100 peaks of the Federation of Excursionist Organizations of Catalonia. Until recently there was a watchtower, now gone.

The climb to Coll de la Mussara or Coll de les Llebres from Vilaplana is characterized by the number of horseshoe curves (or tornanti) it has, approximately 20 curves (almost like the mythical Alpe Huez). There is an area, almost at the end of the port, where 4 horseshoe curves follow one another: this place is where you have to stop to take a good photo and keep a good memory.

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.
