The tour is impressive and you will be rewarded with fantastic impressions! 👍 A perfect destination for a tour in the hinterland of the Costa Blanca, on a beautiful route through the mountains. The beautiful castle in Guadalest with the even more fantastic view of the reservoir is an experience and will remain in your memory. You should definitely do it if you are touring in the region.

The castle of Guadalest sits just off the main road that runs between Confrides and Callosa d’en Sarrià, making it an easy and worthwhile stop during any ride through the valley. From the top of the castle, you’re treated to a breathtaking view over the turquoise reservoir, surrounding cliffs, and layers of mountain ranges. The white bell tower perched high on the rock is one of the most iconic sights on the Costa Blanca — perfect for a short break, a photo, or simply to take in the dramatic landscape before continuing your ride.
