Day 4 DOQ Priorat Poblet – Gratallops 80 km
The Crown of Southern Catalunya has many jewels but one that shines particularly bright. is the DOQ Priorat. Isolation has meant preservation. Since its most prosperous period over a centuary ago the population and wine production has dropped to a tenth. The vines grow on steep slate/rock hillsides, the climate is extreme, the varieties rare and the production miserable, the resulting brews are magnificent.
Our approach brings us from the soft landscape of La Conca del Barbera into the intense presence of Priorat and the Montsant. We follow the Siurana river past the beautiful Carthusian abbey town of Scala Dei, la Vilella Alta/Baixa and Gratallops. This is the toughest days of the tour but your efforts will be amply rewarded, before you get to heaven

We come out of Priorat and down to the Ebro River which we cross at Mora del Ebre for some easy cycling to the impressive Castle of Miravet The fortress/monastery looks down over the Ebro river and controled all access to the Iberian interior from the mediterranean. The quiet lettle town was the scene of two of the fiercest sieges in Medieval history. We use the "cable ferry" to cross the Ebro and cycle to Benifallet and meet the "Via Verde" green route between Tortosa and Horta de Sant Joan in Terra Alta. We turn south along the converted train line that tunnels it's way into beautiful valleys for the easiest route to Horta de Sant Joan.

The beautiful highlands of Terra Alta, The Ports mountains, full of valleys, forests and iconic geological formations, a hiding ground and path of discovery.
