There are many mountain bike routes, but the reservoir is a bit sad as it is right now.

Great views of the mostly dried up reservoir. Some of this loop you would be under-biked on a gravel bike near El Catllar area to the seaside.

Ideal route to do with the family, although it is not many kilometers it does have some slightly more demanding sections, but reaching Niu de l'aliga has its magic. We have gone since it has not rained for a long time so it is a route to do again after a rainy season.
