Mont Caro is one of the hardest climbs in Catalonia; so it's somehow surprising to learn that it is situated 200km south from the Pyrenees, next to the Mediterranean sea, in the province of Tarragona.

The climb heads into the Els Ports Natural Park and there are some beautiful views during the climb as it lifts in and out of forests along the road. The top of Mont Caro is marked by a communications tower, but on clear days the views from up there are stunning.
