The southern slope of this port is very steep (like the vast majority in the area). There are no significant ramps, always below 6%. Unlike the passes in the Prades and Montsant mountains, this pass has long straights and the road is not winding. The views from the top are very beautiful, especially towards the north slope. In spring, the descent down the northern slope towards Ulldemolins is amazing, with a very striking contrast of yellow, green and red. In my opinion, as indicated on the website www.cyclingcols.com, the southern slope of this port begins before Cornudella de Montsant, specifically at the junction with the T-702 road, where you can go to Poboleda or Cornudella del Montsant .

It's a gradual 5km climb with an average gradient of 4.8%, along a very winding road (as are all the roads in the area), which is usually busy on weekends. The climb is mostly open and offers views, except for the final section which is covered by more vegetation. Upon reaching the summit, leaving to the left the road that climbs higher to Castillejos and the Alto de la Mussara, on clear days with good visibility, you can even see the sea.

Between the towns of Porrera and Cornudella de Montsant we find the Porrera pass or Marrades pass. The ascent to the pass ends at an altitude of 531 meters and, due to its steep slopes, along with the lack of sections to recover from, it is also known by the name of "La Pared". The views that can be seen are spectacular.
