Pro-Level Roads

The same routes used by pro teams training in the region.

Moraira / Balcon la Mar

63 km · 857 m · ~2h 38min

★★☆☆☆

A perfect first-day ride along the coast. Gentle roads through Benissa and Teulada lead to short punchy climbs above Moraira, with Peñon de Ifach behind you and Cabo de la Nao ahead.

Xaló / Benissa

68 km · 944 m · ~2h 26min

★★☆☆☆

Ride through the Jalón valley — white with almond blossom in February, green with vines in summer. A moderate loop ideal for your second or third day on the bike.

Castell de Castells

79 km · 1,128 m · ~2h 53min

★★★☆☆

The Costa Blanca classic. A steady climb to a village at 600 m in a rocky basin — a route that appears on nearly every pro team's winter training schedule.

Vall de Ebo

86 km · 1,273 m · ~3h 20min

★★★☆☆

Head north through Benissa into quiet inland roads. Traffic disappears, almond groves line the route, and the pass above Vall de Ebo rewards you with wide valley views.

Bernia / Cumbres del Sol

90 km · 1,500 m · ~3h 46min

★★★☆☆

Ride beneath the Bernia ridge — the rocky spine visible from anywhere in Calpe. Climb towards Cumbres del Sol above Jávea; on clear days you can see Ibiza from the top.

Benigembla / Parcent

83 km · 1,253 m · ~2h 53min

★★★☆☆

Peaceful inland riding through white villages and wine country. Quiet Valencian roads with minimal traffic and one of the best descents in the area through Orba.

Coll de Rates / Sa Creueta

90 km · 1,450 m · ~4h 30min

★★★★☆

The most famous climb in the region — featured in La Vuelta. Nine kilometres at 5.4% average through Polop and Callosa. The benchmark ride for serious cyclists in the area.

Alcalalí / Castell de Castells

147 km · 2,563 m · ~5h 23min

★★★★☆

An epic loop connecting two valleys — wine country around Alcalalí and the Castell de Castells basin. Over 2,500 m of climbing; start early if you're doing it in one go.

Confrides / Coll de Rates

135 km · 2,450 m · ~5h 43min

★★★★☆

Two classic cols in one day. Confrides at 909 m through cool pine forest, combined with Coll de Rates — the full Costa Blanca experience from mountains to coast.

Guadalest / Orba

156 km · 2,503 m · ~5h 51min

★★★★★

Turquoise water, cliffs, and a castle above the Guadalest reservoir — one of the iconic images of Costa Blanca. A full-day ride for strong amateur riders; bring food for two meals.

Val d'Ebo / Tollos

120 km · 2,000 m

★★★★☆

Through the Gallinera valley — famous for cherry blossom in March. A narrow road through dark gorges opening onto wide mountain views. Over 2,000 m of climbing; pack enough food.

Tarbena / La Vall de Laguar

164 km · 3,266 m · ~6h 14min

★★★★★

The queen stage of Costa Blanca cycling. Remote valleys, terraced olive groves, and over 3,200 m of climbing. Bring proper supplies and charge your GPS before you set off.
