Tucked away in the mountains of the Marina Alta, Vall de Gallinera is one of the Costa Blanca’s most scenic and peaceful cycling routes. The name literally means “Valley of the Chickens” — 🐓🐔 — a nod to the valley’s Moorish past, when this fertile land was known for its farms and poultry. These days, the valley is all about cherries. In spring, the hills burst into bloom with white cherry blossoms — an incredible sight on two wheels. By May and June, the trees are full of ripe, sweet cherries, and local farmers sell them fresh from roadside stalls. 🍒 The route winds through eight tiny villages, like Benissili, Alpatró, and Benirrama, connected by quiet mountain roads with gentle gradients, flowing curves, and spectacular views.

The road from Pego to Sagra is a hidden gem for cyclists. With almost no traffic, it winds gently upward through shaded sections and rolling gradients — never too steep, but always engaging. Perfect for finding rhythm after the descent from Port de Sorell, this stretch offers a rare mix of quiet, flow, and relief from the sun on hot days.

BEAUTIFUL QUIET AREA WITHOUT LOUD TRAFFIC...QUIET AREA

Beautiful valley with little traffic

Hilly but great place for cycling

Nice road with small pass

Beautiful little lighthouse with a lot of history. Very nice view towards Valencia and towards Denia.

Old fishing town that is currently -like most of the coastal towns in the area- dominated by tourism. Along the coast there are plenty of places for a nice coffee stop. But expect a lot of other people and cars in the area
