Climb Description

Sant Pere de Rodes is a beautiful climb in the north of the Catalonia region. It starts from the Costa Brava (Wild Coast) and climbs to a picturesque monastery set in the heart of the Rodes Mountains.
The Cap de Creus, where the climb is situated, is one of the most attractive parts of Spain. Its natural beauty and tranquility has attracted artists including Pablo Picasso and Salvador Dalí. The climb offers fine views of the northern part of the cape and is without doubt the most enjoyable climb in this part of Catalonia.
