Mont Caro is one of the hardest climbs in Catalonia; so it is surprising to learn that it is situated 200km south of the Pyrenees range and has a positively Mediterranean climate. The climb begins gently, before the gradient kicks up after 9km. From here it is steep all the way to the summit, with numerous stretches in excess of 10%. The climb heads into the Els Ports Natural Park and there are some beautiful views on the climb as it flits in and out of forests which line the road.
