| The Sanctuary at the top (picture by Seri Ros de Mora) |
When you are cycling in Girona you have so many different choices. Climbing is our passion here, then everybody knows about
Rocacorba,
Mare de Deu del Mont, possibly
Vallter 2000. You can reach all of them from Girona. But there is a climb, not-so-known, probably because it is not as demanding as those mentioned, that deserves a visit. Totally worth.

| Unbeatable views from the top of El Far (Picture by Sergi Ros de Mora) |
It is Santuari del Far, an amazing spot with unbeatable views of the mountains around. You reach this spot from Coll de Condreu, a very interesting climb reaching 1017 mts. On the west side, starting at Manlleu you will cross tiny medieval villages as Rupit and Pruit, and from the north side starting at Sant Esteve de'n Bas you have a nice wide, well asphalted road. At the top, just beside the roadsign there is a crossroad leading to Santuari del Far. Nice tiny narrow road which in about 5 km leads to the Sanctuary.

| Not very steep, a doable climb! |
When you get to the top you will find the Sanctuary, an amazing viewpoint that will leave you breathless and also a nice restaurant where you can stop for a while and get a coffee or maybe lunch.
Come to Catalonia and we will help you to discover amazing spots like this!
