A long exit through the suburbs, then the historic route beside the N-120.
Practical tips
The historic route runs beside the busy N-120. The Villar de Mazarife variant (4.2 km longer) avoids it. The fork after La Virgen del Camino can be confusing.
Along the way
La Virgen del Camino
A modern sanctuary from 1961 whose façade carries huge bronze apostles by Josep Maria Subirachs.
