Viaje a los colores de un otoño de ciclismo en Cambrils

Días más cortos, luz plana y temperaturas suaves, el ciclismo en otoño significa sorpresa para el amante de la bicicleta, pues se encuentra paisajes en plena transformación que mudan de hoja y con ella de colores.

En esos trayectos te invitamos a descubrir maravillas cercanas a Cambrils, que no necesariamente implican un gran estado de forma, pues a estas alturas de la temporada, mucha gente ya no quiere hacer muchos kilómetros y lo que pretende es disfrutar en la bicicleta.

Ahí van tres sugerencias…

En dirección del Delta de l´Ebre

Paraje natural singular pero también un entorno perfecto para disfrutar de la bicicleta. Desde Cambrils al Delta de l´Ebre tenemos unos 71 kilómetros paralelos a la costa que podéis tomaros en varias etapas, pues varios municipios aparecen por el camino, municipios que pueden marcar el punto más lejano de la salida, antes de emprender la vuelta a Cambrils.

En el camino atravesaréis pueblos plenamente marineros, integrados en el paisaje de la Costa Daurada. L´ Hospitalet de l´Infant es el primero en el kilómetro 15, luego viene L´ Atmella de Mar ya en el 35 siendo L´Ampolla el punto que marca el acceso al Delta de l´Ebre, en el kilómetro 51.

El recorrido es por la antigua nacional 340 y recomendable hacerlo en los días que el viento no sople fuerte, porque en ese caso mejor tomar ruta al norte, hacia Tarragona y algún tramo hacia el interior a partir de Constantí.

Una ruta circular hacia La Mussara

Con una presencia imponente ya desde la misma línea de costa, la Mussara es sin duda un emplazamiento perfecto para estos días, saliendo a una buena hora de la mañana y volviendo para el almuerzo.

El recorrido es de poco menos de 100 kilómetros y tiene su miga. De inicio empezarás a ganar metros antes de cruzar La Selva del Camp y afrontar la subida final hasta la Serra de La Mussara.

Rozando los 1000 metros de altitud, la carretera te reserva unas vistas increíbles de toda la línea de costa, con Cambrils abajo, en una especie de altiplano que pasa por el antiguo recinto miliar de Castillejos. Los últimos 35 kilómetros son en descenso.

El recorrido de las tres comarcas

Desde Cambrils tienes la opción de tomar la carretera dirección Tarragona, cruzar la ciudad hasta La Secuita y afrontarla subida hasta Alforja para volver por Les Borjes del Camp y Montbrió del Camp hasta Cambrils.

Se trata de una ruta de unos 84 kilómetros, perfecta para rodar sin mayores pretensiones, con menos de 800 metros de desinel, pero conocer el gran entorno agrícola y de campo que rodea Cambrils, cruzando hasta 3 comarcas: el Alt Camp, el Baix Camp y el Tarragonès.

  • The cycling essence of Cambrils is summarized in the Bioracer Cambrils Road

    If you’re looking for the ideal setting to devour kilometers on asphalt, Cambrils presents itself as the epicenter of cycling on the Costa Daurada.

    Its strategic location, embraced by the Mediterranean and guarded by the inland mountains , offers a privileged ecosystem that allows you to enjoy cycling all year round.

    Here, the terrain is a gift for the legs, allowing you to go from the sea breeze to demanding mountain passes in just a few minutes, all under a light that only the Tarragona coast knows how to provide.

    In this unbeatable setting, the Bioracer Cambrils Road returns , a date marked on the calendar for Sunday, May 24.

    Far from the mass marches, this event opts for a family-friendly and intimate format, limiting participation to around 700 cyclists to guarantee safety and enjoyment.

    It’s a day designed to let you feel the road, with the support of a security detail from the Mossos d’Esquadra (Catalan police) and volunteers who watch over every intersection, allowing you to focus solely on pedaling.

    Two challenges between the sea and Priorat

    The event offers two routes that adapt to your fitness level and ambition.

    The short 85-kilometer route offers a balanced journey with three easy climbs , ideal for those looking for an active morning without excesses.

    On the other hand, the 125-kilometer option goes into the heart of Priorat , adding an extra loop that increases the challenge.

    This route includes six mountain passes, among which the dreaded section known as No ploris nen stands out, an 11-kilometer climb with final ramps that reach 18 percent gradient.

    Both routes run along quiet roads and through mountain landscapes amidst forests, offering spectacular views of the coast with the sea always in the background.

    Participating in this march, integrated into the Circuit Català de Llarga Distància , also means enjoying premium services.

    From a high-quality Bioracer jersey to a finisher’s medal that recognizes your effort, everything is designed to make the runner feel like the star.

    Gastronomy and services in the goal

    Upon crossing the finish line, the experience does not end, but rather transforms into a celebration of togetherness and recovery.

    The organization offers gourmet refreshments with a fideuà , reflecting the gastronomic excellence of Cambrils, a city famous for its fish markets and its seafood cuisine.

    In addition, you’ll have access to physiotherapy, mechanical services, and photography to ensure you have the perfect memories of your day. It’s the ultimate combination of sport, nature, and Mediterranean culture.

    Registration remains open until all bib numbers are sold out or until one week before the event.

    It is the perfect opportunity to experience an authentic weekend of cycle touring, breathing in the spirituality of the Priorat forests and always returning to the shelter of a destination that breathes the sea.

    Cambrils awaits you with open arms and your bike ready.

  • Get ready, on May 23rd and 24th Cambrils becomes the epicenter of cycling with a new edition of Cambribike!

    If you’re passionate about two wheels, we have a double date you can’t miss.

    This year we have set ourselves an ambitious challenge: we want our road ride to be the real “engine” of the event, aiming to bring together between 500 and 700 cyclists .

    It’s a significant leap forward compared to previous years, and we want you to be part of that group!

    The action kicks off on Saturday the 23rd with Cambrils BTT Orígenes

    It’s an event designed for everyone , from those who go for a family stroll to those looking to push themselves to the limit.

    The best part is that you’re in charge: there are four distances divided into two blocks, and you can decide which one to do on the fly depending on how strong you feel.

    For those looking for something relaxed, we have the short distances of 22 km (100 m+) and 35 km (250 m+).

    These are easy, enjoyable, and flat routes around Cambrils and the Costa Daurada, ideal for amateurs or for enjoying with the little ones.

    If you already have tough legs, the long distances of 47 km (750m+) and 55 km (950m+) await you .

    Things get serious here with more technical trails through the Barony of Escornalbou and the Sierra del Pradell.

    And be warned, because although it’s not a total race, there’s some spice!

    We have prepared two time trials with prizes for the three best (men and women) in each modality: MTB, E-bike and Gravel.

    The 47km route has a timed section of 2.5km, and the 55km route adds a second timed section of 2km.

    To recover our strength, in addition to the refreshments along the route, a gourmet fideuà of epic proportions awaits us all at the finish line.

    On Sunday the 24th we switched gears and went from knobby tires to asphalt with the Bioracer Cambrils Road

    It’s our big cycling tourism bet , a ride controlled by volunteers and Mossos d’Esquadra so that you only have to worry about pedaling and enjoying the Priorat landscape.

    You have two options: an 85km route with three manageable climbs, or the 125km challenge that adds an extra loop and six mountain passes.

    If you choose the long route, you will face the famous “No llores niño” climb: 11 km uphill (530m+) with final ramps of 18% that will test you.

    To make the experience truly exceptional, this event includes physiotherapy services, photographers, chip timing, and the official event jersey designed by Bioracer, a leading brand in the sector.

    We want you to feel like a professional surrounded by nature, tranquility and the best cycling environment.

    Whether it’s the trails on Saturday or the mountain passes on Sunday, Cambrils awaits you with open arms and your bike ready.

    See you at the exit!

  • What a wonderful route you’ve planned!

    After conquering the mountain passes of the Prades Mountains, giving it your all in the vineyards of Priorat and feeling the breeze of the Costa Daurada on your face, you deserve a real break.

    After all that cycling, take the opportunity to visit the beaches of Cambrils.

    There’s no better muscle recovery than a swim in calm waters or simply letting the sun recharge your batteries on the sand .

    It’s time to turn off the GPS, put away Strava, and simply listen to the sound of the sea. If this area teaches us anything, it’s that the Mediterranean heals any muscle soreness and allows you to process all the landscapes you’ve traversed by pedal stroke.

    Since you come from Priorat, you know that this land is for drinking , but when you arrive at the port of Cambrils the plan calls for something cooler.

    Take advantage of your free time to sit on a terrace in front of the boats and enjoy a vermouth , the sacred ritual of the area.

    Pair it with some local hazelnuts or arbequina olives while you watch time go by without rushing.

    It’s the perfect time to look through the photos from the trip and laugh about that hill that almost defeated you in Prades, enjoying the well-deserved calm.

    The cyclist works up an appetite and in Cambrils, the gastronomic capital of the area, the reward is top-notch.

    You can’t leave without trying a good seafood rice dish or a Xató (that typical salad with almond and ñora pepper sauce that brings you back to life).

    Local produce is the star; look for restaurants where the fish comes straight from the fish market.

    Enjoying a leisurely meal while watching the fishermen come and go is the perfect ending before returning to the hotel.

    You leave with tired legs, but your heart full of Mediterranean light.
