If there’s one climb that defines cycling on the Costa Blanca, it’s Coll de Rates. Starting from the village of Parcent, this legendary ascent has become a must-ride for cyclists from around the world — from weekend warriors to Tour de France champions. The climb is just under 7 km long, with an average gradient of around 5%, making it both accessible and rhythmical. The road surface is excellent, the curves are elegant, and the views just keep getting better as you rise above the valley. This is no secret among the pros. Riders from Jumbo-Visma, INEOS, UAE Team Emirates and others regularly use Coll de Rates for winter training. Tadej Pogačar currently holds the Strava KOM, which says a lot about the kind of names that have tested themselves here. On clear days, the view from the top is simply breathtaking — stretching all the way across the coastline, and if you’re lucky, even Ibiza shimmers faintly on the horizon. There’s a café at the summit (seasonal), and the descent toward Tarbena or Castell de Castells is just as rewarding. With its mix of scenery, steady gradients and cycling history, Coll de Rates is one of the most climbed — and most loved — ascents in the world. If you ride only one climb in the region, make it this one.

The Coll de Rates consistently ranks in the top ten of the most ridden mountains every year. Pro riders compete for the best times.

The summit of Peñón de Ifach is 332 meters above sea level. To reach the top, follow the Red Route of the Peñón de Ifach Natural Park. This route begins at the visitor center and passes through a tunnel before reaching the summit. The hike is challenging, especially after the tunnel, where the terrain becomes steeper and more slippery. Hands are required for support in some places, as is appropriate footwear. The views from the summit are spectacular, offering panoramic views of the Mediterranean Sea and the Calpe coast.

Climbing to the top of the Peñón de Ifach is one of the most stunning hikes on the Costa Blanca. It's a somewhat difficult route, due to the steepness and rugged terrain. Once at the summit, however, the effort is worth it, as you'll enjoy spectacular views.

Perhaps not the most beautiful, but certainly the most famous climb in the region. The climb is beautiful but is especially popular because it is perfect for the pros to test in terms of length and gradient. From Parcent up, the climb is about 6.5 km with an average gradient of just over 5% (and no more than 8% on the steepest parts). Those who have breath left can enjoy beautiful views along the way 😁

The Forat de Bèrnia is an impressive place in the Sierra de Bèrnia, located in the Valencian Community, Spain. This natural tunnel, about 15 to 20 meters long, crosses the mountain range from north to south. At its widest entrance, it offers panoramic views of Altea, the Serra Gelada and the Mediterranean. The Forat de Bèrnia is presented as a spacious natural shelter that becomes a magnificent viewpoint of the Costa Blanca. If you decide to do this route, I recommend avoiding weekends and holidays to avoid the crowds and preserve the natural environment. I hope you enjoy this natural wonder! 😊🏞️
