Sunday | 38km & 380m

Bienvenido a España! Our trip starts with a leisurely ride around Monte Pego, offering sea views to refresh and ensure everything is in order with your Pinarello bike. If anything needs adjustment, please speak to the mechanic now.

Vall d’Ebo

Monday | 103km & 1870m

The Vall d’Ebo climb is a legendary route nestled in the heart of Costa Blanca’s mountainous terrain. This ascent takes us from the valley floor to the summit, offering panoramic views and a sense of accomplishment that only a challenging climb can provide. The average gradient of the climb is around 6-8%.

Calpe

Tuesday | 78km & 1,140m

On our third day, we will take a loop that goes through Calpe. As we descend from Calpe, we will have the chance to see the impressive Peñón de Ifach. This rock formation was declared a Natural Park in 1987 by Spain. The size of the Peñón de Ifach is astonishing; it reaches a height of 332m and rests in the Mediterranean waters below. In Calpe, we will be surrounded by incredible views, including the vastness of the sea, and the details of the rocky coastline.

Castel de Forna

Wednesday | 76km & 970m

Today’s ride features the Castel de Forna as the highlight. This castle, visible as we ride towards Villalonga, appears like a simple sketch for a fairy tale. It is a plain, pale-colored rectangle without whimsical turrets to disrupt its stark geometry. An equally pale winding road leads up to it, with sharply defined edges against the dark green mountainside, appearing as if drawn by hand. The castle is situated atop a low green mountain, surrounded by taller ones that rise gradually in an amphitheater-like setting. From the viewpoint, beyond the castle, there is a vast open space extending far out to the distant sea.

Alto de Tarrenyes

Thursday | 79km & 1,471m

We will discover the Marina Alta’s hidden gem: the Alt de Tarrenyes. This virtually traffic-free, perfectly paved climb connects stunning valleys, offering breathtaking views and an authentic taste of inland Spain. Aligned with legendary climbs like the Alt de Tollos and Coll de la Garga, the Alt de Tarrenyes is a must-ride for any cycling enthusiast exploring Calpe’s diverse terrain.

Coll de Rates

Friday | 84km & 1,536m

Coll de Rates is one of the most popular mountain passes on the Costa Blanca, if not the most popular. Over the last few years, it has been used for training sessions in the winter stages by most of the top professional teams. It is almost a must for the Vuelta a España when the race comes to the Costa Blanca. The pass has also gained popularity thanks to renowned professional cyclists such as Tadej Pogačar, Mathieu Van der Poel, and Victor Campenaerts, who hold top positions in the Strava segments. All of this has made Coll de Rates a benchmark for cyclists from around the world.
