Is the road to Coll dels Reis paved?

The road to the summit, also known as Col de Cal Reis, is fully paved. It’s called Sa Calobra Road (officially designed MA-2141). The road was built in 1932. It is 12.2 km (7.58 miles) long, running from the scenic MA-10 road, near an aqueduct, to a payment parking, near the beach of Sa Calobra.

How challenging is Coll dels Reis?

It’s a single winding road very narrow with numerous hairpin bends (one that goes back on itself at 270 degrees) and short straights keep the gradients changing (with many steep sections up to 11%, which make it difficult to get into a steady rhythm.
