Benigembla International Mosta d’Art Urbà, 약칭 BIMAU는 알리칸테 지방의 La Marina Alta 지역에 있는 Benigembla 마을의 거리를 색채와 창의성으로 채우는 도시 예술 행사입니다. 축제 기간 동안 이 작은 마을에서는 다양한 행사가 열리며, 건물 외벽이 벽화로 변모하고 마을 전체가 야외 박물관으로 탈바꿈합니다. 이것은 공간과 사람들을 연결하는 문화 프로젝트입니다. 선정된 벽은 BIMAU 벽화 작업을 위해 자신의 건물 외벽을 제공한 주민들의 소유입니다. 이 벽들은 마을의 본질을 반영하는 풍경과 장면으로 장식됩니다. 이로써 가장 전형적인 거리에는 다양한 스타일의 현대 미술 작품이 전시되어 흥미로운 대조를 이룹니다.

Gorga is a peaceful village in Alicante’s El Comtat region, perched at about 545 metres above sea level. With around 280 inhabitants, it lies at the edge of the Vall de Seta, surrounded by olive groves, almond trees and dry stone terraces. Sheltered by the southern slopes of the Serra de la Serrella, Gorga is the kind of place where time moves slowly and the road ahead always promises something quieter. For cyclists, Gorga is a perfect transition point. Heading north, it connects directly to the beautiful and quiet climbs of Quatretondeta, Fageca, and Castell de Castells. To the south, it links naturally to the long ascents toward Confrides, Puerto de Tudons, or the scenic CV-70 corridor that cuts across the Sierra de Aitana. Whether you’re climbing up from Benilloba or descending from the high passes, Gorga offers a natural pause — a breather between bigger efforts. The village itself is small but welcoming: a shaded plaza, a trickling fountain, and the occasional bar where you might catch a conversation or a cool drink. There’s little traffic and plenty of charm. With its central location and quiet atmosphere, Gorga isn’t just a waypoint — it’s one of those places that grounds a ride, offering rhythm between the climbs. Cycling tip: If you’re linking big climbs like Puerto de Tudons with the Serrella villages, Gorga makes an ideal rest point. Top up your bottles, take in the view, and enjoy the calm before the next ascent.

Tollos is a peaceful mountain village along the Ruta 99, a scenic route connecting the smallest villages of the Valencian Community. It’s a perfect turnaround point for cyclists riding from Alcalalí or the Vall de Pop. The approach from Fageca offers a quiet, steady climb, mostly shaded in the morning. Tollos itself is small but charming, and cyclists love stopping here for a classic bocadillo at the local bar — simple, delicious and authentic. For those looking to add an extra challenge, you can continue from Tollos to the Muro de Tollos, a steep climb that rewards you with stunning views. From the top, you can descend towards Beniaia, opening up loop options through the Vall d’Alcalà.

During the descent from Coll de Rates toward Tàrbena, be sure to slow down and take in the panoramic valley views below. On your right, you’ll spot narrow, terraced orange groves cascading down the hillside toward the sea. As the road twists and winds through pine-covered slopes, watch for brief clearings that offer sweeping vistas of the lush Guadalest Valley and the distant Mediterranean coast. A few perfect spots to pause safely are just after sharp bends—ideal for a quick photo or just soaking in the peaceful scenery before continuing the descent.

A must-visit café with one of the best terraces in the region – overlooking the legendary Coll de Rates. Blanca Bikes serves great coffee and snacks, but it’s the atmosphere that makes it special. Think après-ski vibes, but with sun, lycra and carbon bikes instead of snow and skis. Perfect for watching riders roll in and out all day long. 📍 Located right on the route to/from Coll de Rates – you can’t miss it.
