We circle the reservoir on a dirt track that follows the contour of the water, alternating between small slopes and flatter, more open sections. The reflection of the sky on the surface and the tranquillity of the surroundings make this one of the most memorable moments of the day. Leaving the track, there are only 6 kilometres of tarmac left to Solsona, in a fast and comfortable final stretch. The entrance to the city is through quiet streets, with the cathedral peeking out from among the rooftops, marking the end of a stage that combines nature, calm and heritage.
