Transcatalunya: Mont-roig del Camp – Vandellòs

A short stage that is necessary due to a lack of accommodation on the next stage but that includes a steep climb before an ultimate long descent to Vandellòs.

The stage begins at Mont-roig del Camp - Miami Platja MTB Centre reception point, first riding for around one kilometre through the streets of the town until you reach the T-310 road where you turn right just after the Rifà gorge.

Continue along the trail running parallel to the gorge on a gentle climb to Mas del Frare where, after a short descent, you continue riding for around three kilometres before you begin a steep uphill climb to the La Llena mountain pass, with Cabrafiga mountain to your left. From here on, you enter a large forest area along badly-kept trails and paths, descending to the T-310 road and the village of Pratdip.

Cross the village and follow the T-311 road for around 6 kilometres, climbing up to the Roig mountain pass, the highest point of the stage.

Leave the tarmacked road and begin the long descent along a trail that wil take you to the Remullà gorge and the small village of the same name. Follow the gorge and you will soon arrive in Vandellòs, the end of this stage.
