Introduction

A circular cycle route on roads: Roses - Port de la Selva - Roses, bordering the Serra de Rodes.

Along a narrow road, but one in good condition, you’ll travel the interior of the Cap de Creus Natural Park, enjoying its landscapes and passing through the valleys that descend towards the sea. You climb the Serra de Rodes to its monastery and return to the Empordà plain, stopping at the Mas Ventós viewing point.
