Itinerary 2: Falset -Bellmunt- Marçà -Falset

Distance: 19 km
Level: 437 m
Cyclability: 100 %
Duration: 1 h - 1 h 30 m

This route takes us through the villages of Falset, Bellmunt del Priorat and Marçà. This itinerary enables us to contemplate the spectacular vineyards in the southern part of the Priorat region.

The route is easy and there are no physical nor technical difficulties. The land is good as for the mostpart it follows forest paths. There may be some difficulty in the clay-based soils as there are loose stones as we pass through the vineyard of Mas d’en Gil winery.
