SS-14 / SS-17 –Santa Marina – 26,510 kms.
General description: |
This
is another classic stage of the RallyRACC Catalunya
– Costa Daurada. It has three very different
parts: from Coll de Fatxes to Pratdip it is basically
a descent on new and even asphalt. After some 9
km the stage changes completely as regards pace
and landscape. A 7-km road combining broken, very
irregular asphalt with paved areas leads to the
T-322, where the surface changes again. In the final
section the route crosses the village of Colldejou
to climb up to Coll Roig and start a twisty descent
to Torre de Fontaubella. |

ZP-1 is a small spectator
area at the start in Coll de Fatxes. It is an area

follow the C-44 linking l’Hospitalet de l’Infant
and Tivissa until the junction with the T-311 in

Services: Very limited parking space on the C-44
and on the rural road to Gavadá, to the left,
