About this tour
A 27km descent through the Ports of Beceite natural park in northeastern Spain, following the Via Verde trail from Pinell de Brai. This five-hour ride drops 90% downhill on a converted railway route, delivering sweeping views of limestone ridges and scrubland without the grunt of climbing. You'll pedal through largely empty country, moving at your own pace on a firm, well-maintained surface that rewards steady nerves and decent bike handling.

What to expect
You'll start at Estació de Prat del Compte and ease into a long, sustained descent through open parkland where views stretch across weathered hillsides. The trail is smooth and predictable—a converted railway bed, not singletrack—so you can focus on the landscape rather than technical obstacles. Expect to brake regularly to control speed and take in the silence; the Ports region sees few visitors. The ride finishes at Pinell de Brai. Your support van follows the route, so mechanical trouble isn't a drama. The five-hour timeframe assumes steady pace with brief stops.
Good to know
Not suitable if you have spinal injuries, poor cardiovascular health, or are pregnant. Specialist child seats, pet carriers, and wheelchair access are available. Bring water and snacks; sections are remote. Late morning or early afternoon start avoids intense afternoon heat. The descent demands reliable brakes.
