Climb Description
The climb to es Grau from the east begins at the junction of the Ma-1100 and the Ma-1101, 1.5km to the north-west of Esporles. The climb continues on the Ma-1101 all the way to the top of es Grau.This is a picturesque climb, passing by some small vineyards and almond fields, before climbing gently to the top of Es Grau.
The descent from the top into Puigpunyent is very technical with a lot of tight hairpins - perfect for practicing your bike handling.
Roads & Traffic
The road surface is in very good condition and is fine for both ascending and descending on a road bike.
There is little traffic on the climb.
