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.
