몽갓 최고의 사이클링 경로

For centuries it was the Sunday getaway of the surrounding villages, and it is said that, on foggy days, the bell tower served as a guide to orientate oneself among the paths of the mountain range. Old meetings and gatherings were held on the esplanade, and you can still see the space where people sat to have breakfast after the climb. The access is direct and sustained, and the arrival offers a clear view of the sea and mountains that explains why Sant Mateu has always been a point of passage and a mandatory stop.

In front of the Gothic monastery of Sant Jeroni de la Murtra, in Badalona, a little gem awaits you: a 15th-century wrought iron cross, a symbol of faith and craftsmanship. If you get close, pay attention to the details of the twisted iron: each turn seems to tell an ancient prayer. Make a short stop, drink some water and enjoy the silence of the place before tackling the climb to the Montalegre pass or continuing towards La Conreria. The contrast between nature and history here is brutal.

Nice views. It is definitely doable on a gravel bike, but it is not exactly easy.

Impressive, symbol of the city

It's one of Badalona's symbols, but access can sometimes be closed. It's well worth a visit.

Suddenly, Barcelona appears before you. The view is breathtaking, but be careful not to get distracted or stop; the right turn is quite sharp, and the slope behind it is steep.

One of the many picturesque spots with a wonderful view (weather dependent).

About 300 meters before reaching the hermitage along the track from Òrrius, on the left, dry stone walls are preserved, the remains of a shelter used by Republican militiamen during the Civil War. It's not signposted, but it's visible if you get off your bike and explore a bit. The surroundings are very peaceful and steeped in history: the hermitage was also used as a temporary shelter.
