At the top you stop, look and go back down the way you came, which downhill is a different road. It is a one-day route, unhurried, with three stops worth making and a mountain lunch at the end. ## The route, stretch by stretch Barcelona – Berga. The C-16 dual carriageway is the link stretch, an hour and twenty with one toll. Fill the tank in Berga before going on: it is the last large town before the pass. Berga – La Pobla de Lillet. You follow the C-16 north to Guardiola de Berguedà and there turn towards La Pobla de Lillet, with the Llobregat river alongside. It is a valley road, wide with open bends, good for warming up the tyres. In La Pobla, a coffee and a leg stretch: in the village are the Jardins Artigas, designed by Gaudí, and the departure station of the Tren del Ciment. La Pobla de Lillet – Castellar de n'Hug. Here the good part begins: the BV-4031 narrows and climbs, chaining bends through forest. Before reaching the village, beside the road, is the Clot del Moro, with the ruins of the Asland cement factory, which worked from 1904 to 1975 and is now a museum and a protected historic monument. Castellar de n'Hug is at 1,450 metres, inside the Cadí-Moixeró Natural Park, and is one of the highest inhabited villages in Catalonia. The Llobregat Springs. Just below the village, at 1,300 metres, the river is born. You walk down from the car park at the village entrance along a stepped path with a wooden handrail; there is also a signposted turning to get there by car from the La Pobla road. The water comes out of the limestone in cascades, and in spring, with the thaw, the flow is impressive. Allow half an hour for the way down, the viewpoint and the way back. Castellar de n'Hug – Coll de la Creueta. The road continues towards La Molina and leaves the forest: open meadows, long bends and views in every direction. The pass, at 1,921 metres, separates the Berguedà from the Cerdanya and the Ripollès. To the south you see all of central Catalonia; to the north, the Pyrenees. In summer there are flocks of sheep, cows and horses grazing on the road and around it, and with luck marmots and chamois: slow down at every blind bend. The descent. You return the same way to Berga, with a stop for lunch in La Pobla de Lillet. With the sun at your back and the road already known, the descent is enjoyed differently. ## Lunch and the afternoon A table booked for two at Cal Pericas, in La Pobla de Lillet, on the way down. It has been a family eating house since 1856, in the centre of the village, between the Pont Vell and the Pont de la Petita, with the large dining room over the Llobregat. Slow-cooked Catalan food: stews, surf and turf, mushrooms in spring and autumn and game dishes. At weekends and holidays the kitchen is open from 13:30 to 15:30, and closed on Mondays. Order the holiday menu, €21 with dessert, bread, water and wine: whoever is driving should stick to the water. It has no car park of its own, but there is a free one a few minutes' walk away. Book by phone or WhatsApp, and wait for them to answer: until then the table is not confirmed. After that, about half an hour of road to Berga and half an hour on foot through the old town to stretch your legs before the dual carriageway. If you prefer to eat in Berga, La Cabana opens at midday Wednesday to Sunday. If you want to stay the night, Berga and La Pobla de Lillet have accommodation: ask when booking where to leave the bikes. ## If you go with a passenger or with older children The route works well with a passenger. The stops at La Pobla, the Clot del Moro and the springs break the day into short stretches. With older children, the Tren del Ciment links La Pobla de Lillet with the Clot del Moro in about 20 minutes and 3.5 km; check its running days before setting out. ## Cómo llegar ### By motorbike from Barcelona C-16 dual carriageway to Berga, an hour and twenty. It is the dull stretch: save your enthusiasm for after Guardiola. ### By car The route is just as good. There are lay-bys at the pass and parking at the entrance to Castellar de n'Hug, from where you walk down to the springs. ## Consejos ### Fill up in Berga Further up the petrol pumps are few. Leave Berga with a full tank. ### Check the weather at the pass before setting out The pass is at 1,921 metres. Outside summer, check for snow, ice and wind with the Servei Meteorològic de Catalunya. ### Beware of gravel in spring After winter, sand remains on the shaded bends. Take the first climb gently. ### Livestock on the road In the meadows at the pass, sheep, cows and horses graze in summer. There may be one behind every bend. ### Book a table for the group On Sundays the inns fill up. Say how many you are and ask where to leave the bikes. ## Cuándo no ir Sundays in August at midday. The road fills with cars, cyclists and campervans, and loses its appeal. ## Preguntas frecuentes ### How many kilometres is it from Barcelona? About 300 between outward journey, route and return.
