Very good view of Valldigna and a well-deserved rest after climbing the port of Simat-Barx.

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%.

Mythical ascent for the people of Gandia

Viewpoint located in the upper part of the port Simat-Barx, with beautiful views of the Valldigna, the mountain and the coast.

Panoramic point on the side of the road with beautiful views towards Simat de la Valldigna and Tavernes beach. It can be accessed uphill from Simat in the direction of Puerto de Barx (5km), or from Monte Pino in the direction of Puerto La Drova (3km).
