Llauríの峠・トップ4

素晴らしい登り坂で、路面状況も完璧でした。。写真は、タデイがブエルタで不運にも落車した場所で撮影したものです

🚴‍♂️ A short but powerful pass, with views to swoon over. Highly recommended is this section between Simat and Barx, a classic in the area that has everything we're looking for in a great getaway: history, slopes, nature, and picture-postcard panoramas. ⁣ The route starts off with a bang, next to the majestic monastery of Santa Maria de la Valldigna, and begins to gain altitude with a series of hairpin bends that get you started. As you climb, you leave the valley behind and the Vall de la Valldigna appears in all its splendor: Simat, Benifairó, Tavernes, and the monastery... a view worth every pedal stroke! Before reaching Barx, there is a detour to the left towards "Les Foies," a hamlet of Simat. Upon reaching Font del Cirer, you can stop for a drink or sit down and take some photos of the valley. Further along, following the road, comes one of the most challenging sections: a slope reaching up to 14% that tests your legs just before reaching the summit of the hamlet of Les Foies. But don't worry: the effort is rewarded. The final stretch through white pines to Font Nova is a delight. Here, you have a perfect recreational area to stop, catch your breath, and recharge your batteries amidst the shade and nature, or simply enjoy the silence after your effort.

The "Coll de rates de la Safor". The third-category Barx Pass is one of those climbs that local cyclists will fall in love with. With several well-defined hairpin bends and a steady but manageable gradient, it's perfect for enjoying the effort without overdoing it. The views over the Valldigna Valley, with Simat and the monastery in the background, are a reward around every turn. Frequently used by local cyclists, it's a pass that's sure to be a repeat. If you're nearby, don't hesitate to include it in your route: pure Mediterranean cycling.

Be careful, after the descent there is an iron gate that is usually closed, this last time I found it with the padlock open.

The Port de Simat from Barxeta is a climb in the Costa del Azahar region. It has a length of 6.1 kilometers and an ascent of 179 vertical meters with a slope of 2.9% on average, which implies a difficulty level of 83. The summit of the ascent is located at 278 meters above sea level.

It is a port of pleasant ascent in both directions of traffic, which can be continued with the port of Simat or through Pla de Corrals or La Puigmola.

Nice port with amazing views. I did the pass in the direction of Simat de la Valldigna to Barx to connect with the Mondúber pass and despite the hardness of the latter it is a route that I recommend 100%.

Spring in its purest form: in the foreground, the orange blossom perfumes the beginning; in the background, a cyclist begins the climb to the Barx pass, almost blurred, as if the mountain were swallowing him up little by little. It is April, the season is starting, and there is no better sign than this: the scent of orange trees, soft sun and eager legs. The pass awaits… and so does the view.
