Roca del Migdia from La Caramella

A tough but very rewarding route – pinnacles, cliffs, chasms and often ibex, through some of Els Ports most spectacular scenery. One airy, but not dangerous or difficult moment on the ascent and a steep start to the descent.

The grade of this walk is VS/C/Scr, which means
VS – Very Strenuous: More than 800 metres ascent and/or more than 20km in length with steep, loose or heavily vegetated sections.
C – More than half the route on rough ground.
Scr – Scrambling: This implies the need for handholds to ascend steep rock pitches with a sense of exposure to vertigo and where a slip could lead to a serious accident.

Nearest town	Els Reguers
Directions to start	From the AP7 motorway take the C12 north past Tortosa. Once you have crossed the river reach a roundabout with traffic lights. Turn L on the TV341 for els Requers and Alfara de Carles. After 2km turn left on to a smaller road signposted for Caro and then, after a further 2km cross an irrigation canal and after 50m turn left on to a small road. Follow this for 4km to its end at a T-junction. Turn left here and then immediately right by a green sign for ‘Cami de la Caramella’. Follow this track, very rough in places, for 2km to a newly-made car park above you on the RHS.
