The route from Fageca to Gorga, passing through Quatretondeta, is one of the most scenic and quietly dramatic stretches in the inland mountains of Alicante. Set against the backdrop of the Serra de la Serrella, this road carries you through a pale, sculpted landscape of white limestone cliffs, open slopes, and solitary rock formations that feel more like natural monuments than mountainsides.

From Fageca, the road descends gently at first, following the contours of the terrain through dry pine forests and terraces. As you approach Quatretondeta, the scenery becomes more striking. The village appears almost fused to the rock, nestled beneath the jagged towers of the Frares, tall limestone spires that dominate the skyline. Riding through Quatretondeta feels like passing through a gateway carved by time — it’s quiet, exposed, and unforgettable.

After leaving the village, the road continues mostly downhill toward Gorga, but not without effort. Several short uphill sections interrupt the descent, testing your legs and breaking the rhythm just enough to keep the ride engaging. These rolling climbs offer new perspectives across the Vall de Seta, with long views back toward the Serrella ridge.

The final kilometres into Gorga sweep through olive groves and scattered farmhouses, gradually easing back into more inhabited terrain. But the sense of remoteness never fully disappears — even at its end, this route feels like a passage through a hidden world of stone, silence, and space.
