SS-7 / SS-10– El Priorat / La Ribera d’Ebre
– 38.27 kms.
| General description: |
 This is with no doubt the ‘star stage' of the RallyRACC Catalunya - Costa Daurada. It is the result of joining the El Lloar-La Figuera stage with the last section of the Margalef stage, thus creating a 38.270-km stage with good surface and a very technical layout linking two of the main municipalities visited by the rally: El Priorat and La Ribera de Ebre The special starts on the T-732 after passing El Lloar. It begins with a combination of long bends and a faster and very technical area until the much frequented El Molar junction, where it takes the T-730 to pass La Figuera, the start of a twisty descent, to continue on the T-714 coming from La Torre de l’Español. From here, the special has been lengthened towards La Bisbal de Falset, taking the T-702, and after 7 km combining long bends and fast sections, it borders the village after crossing a bridge. From La Bisbal de Falset the stage enters its ‘final straight’ with further 9 km until La Palma d’Ebre. |
