ベニコレットの峠・トップ10

There are several points along this route from which you can admire the impressive silhouette of the Benicadell massif. The Alt de Benicadell, with a height of 1,105 metres, is a prominent peak in the Sierra de Benicadell, which forms a natural border between the provinces of Valencia and Alicante. The region around the Benicadell offers numerous opportunities for cycling tours that lead through varied landscapes with impressive views.

Puerto de la Drova, or Collado del Mollons, is a climb in the Costa del Azahar region. It has a length of 9.8 kilometers and a climb of 359 vertical meters with a slope of 3.7% on average, which implies a difficulty level of 201. The top of the climb is located at 382 meters above sea level. At the top, you can access the Parpalló Borrell Environmental Interpretation Center, a space to disseminate and help interpret the environmental aspects of the area where it is located.

This port is one of the classics of the area. It can be done uphill from Gandia, so the journey is 10km that starts with a very gentle slope and gets steeper at the end with the true port (3.5km). Going downhill, you have to be careful because high speeds are achieved thanks to the good asphalt and the layout of the curves. And I say that you need to be careful not only for physical integrity, but also because the civil guard charges cyclists with excessive speed.

Mythical ascent for the people of Gandia

The Benicadell accompanies the cyclist during the ascent and descent of the mountain pass between Castelló de Rugat and Beniarrés.

Very picturesque and demanding stretch. With a good surface, riding here is very entertaining, but you will have to overcome slopes over 20%, both up and down, so make sure your brakes are in optimal condition.

Also a nice view inland, the trees make the place so photogenic.
