Hills around Sant Joan de Moró

The ride

Roll out from the parking area at Parc Natural del Desert de les Palmes and let the route carry you through the nature reserve before the road bends toward the Embassament de Maria Cristina, a lake that breaks up the climbing. From there you head for Castell Vell, a castle that gives the ride its high point, before the loop settles back through the Ermitori de la Magdalena nature reserve. It's 68.8 km of paved road with 874 m of climbing, and it finishes right where it started.
