Be careful, if you take the ramp directly from La Mora at the roundabout, you'll be pushing your bike! This is a steep hiking trail and not suitable for mountain bikers.

All the paths leading to the tower of Sant Simplici are good but a little technical on the whole ascent as on the descent. The 360° panoramic view is worth the effort.

Magnificent views of the coast of Tarragona, Creixell, Torredembarra and Altafulla. The route is ideal for walking or trail running, with stretches of track and very cool trails, the climb to the mola is quite demanding.

La Mola offers a phenomenal panoramic view. Unfortunately the forest around La Mola suffered terrible fires a couple of years ago.
