People often turn around at the top of the Col de Rates for the descent back towards Parcent. A shame because the hinterland contains some of the most beautiful roads in the region including this descent towards Taberna.

A beautiful winding road with a good layer of asphalt and a magnificent view.

During the descent from Coll de Rates toward Tàrbena, be sure to slow down and take in the panoramic valley views below. On your right, you’ll spot narrow, terraced orange groves cascading down the hillside toward the sea. As the road twists and winds through pine-covered slopes, watch for brief clearings that offer sweeping vistas of the lush Guadalest Valley and the distant Mediterranean coast. A few perfect spots to pause safely are just after sharp bends—ideal for a quick photo or just soaking in the peaceful scenery before continuing the descent.
