에스텔랑스 최고의 라이딩 경로

Beautiful serpentine route

Coll de Sa Creu - 5.80 km, 5.3 elev, 10 min from Center of Palma, beautiful sunrise. 🌅 My go to early morning climbing closest to home.

This is a magnificent climb with usually little traffic, spectacular views, and even some shade on the first section, if you're doing it in the summer. It's just over five kilometers long, with a total of 265 meters of elevation gain and an average gradient of 5.2%. Enjoy!

Great views, like everywhere in the Tramuntana. Moderate gradient.

You'll want to shoot here because it's like a roller coaster, and stop every minute to take photos so you'll always remember this dream road. It's an unforgettable experience!

The island with its great mythology also has a story about this watchtower. The Torre des Verger (Catalan) is also called the Torre de ses Ànimes, Tower of Souls, by locals. There are reports of numerous suicides at this site without the bodies of the dead being found, of people disappearing without a trace, strange shadows and children walking through walls. The Torre del Verger (castelan) was still used for military purposes even under Franco's rule. When one of the Francoist soldiers was standing guard in the tower at night, a woman dressed entirely in white approached. He called to her to stop, but she did not react and came closer and closer. Finally he opened fire. The projectiles penetrated her body without harming her and she continued to run towards him. Paralyzed with sheer terror, he leaned against the wall and felt the figure pass through him and disappear through the wall. When the guard changed, his comrades found him crouched on the ground, trembling and as pale as a sheet.

Definitely one of the most stunning views, when it suddenly reveals itself after the last bulge.
