Coll de Rates Pass

One of the most recognized and visited ports of La Marina Baja. With slopes of 6-7% it adapts very well to all profiles of cyclists. Throughout the entire journey you can enjoy beautiful views in any direction you do it. It is usually a regular site for some professionals who use it to train and prepare for the season.

Populair climb, for riding and tagging on instagram. If you're here to see the profs train in the offseason you should go here. Also go here if you're looking for a nice climb :). Wouldn't ride it in the middle of the summer. This ascend from Parcent is the most populair one.

This climb suits everyone. It is fairly regular at 6-7%, with beautiful views everywhere along the road. Therefor best views-to-effort-ratio I have seen. Once you are at the top you have two choices: turn round and enjoy the descent, or go ahead and enjoy the nice up-and-down part to Tarbena. Last option can be converted into a roundtrip via Castell de Castells back to Parcent (45 km, a bit steeper climbing after the Tarbena T-junction right towards Puerta de Sa Creueta). Both options deserve being explored...
