Lleida

Lleida is a flat river city on the Segre where serious cyclists head north into the Montsec range for steep limestone climbs—the Marxa Cicloturista Montsec-Montsec and Montsec-Montsec events draw riders tackling 190km+ routes with sustained 8-10% grades. Runners stick to the valley floor and the old town, though the Pujada a la Seu Vella climb to the cathedral offers a tough 10km hill effort; the real training ground is the Garrigues plateau to the south, a rolling semi-arid region ideal for long runs.
