알제시 최고의 라이딩 경로

조용하고 가족 친화적인 장소입니다. 해 질 녘 풍경이 바뀌면서 부드러운 빛이 마을을 비추며 믿을 수 없을 정도로 아름답게 보입니다. 전망대에서는 계곡의 특별한 파노라마를 감상할 수 있습니다.

Large recreational area with paella pans and tables with benches.

The climb has a good asphalt surface, without too much elevation change, and it is worth noting the existence of a detour via an unpaved road from kilometer 9.3 to Sumarcárcel, which we have discarded due to not knowing its condition, given the rains of the previous days.

The wonderful setting surrounds a fairytale monastery.

The Royal Monastery of Santa Maria de Valldigna was founded by James II the Just on March 15, 1298, who gave the Alfàndec valley to Abbot Bononat of Vila-seca to found a monastery of the Cistercian order, a branch of the Santes Creus monastery. It was the first monastery of such importance built in the ancient Kingdom of Valencia, after the Christian conquest. Days after the royal donation, James II, brother Bononat and his entourage met at the place of Ràfol (a Christian village in the valley founded after the conquest of James I) to take possession of the territory, plus one mile inland, the castles of Marinyén, Alcalà and the tower of Mondúber.

"This is the exact point where the bike wants to fly... but the view forces you to brake. Serra de les Agulles in the background and Santa Maria de la Valldigna below. A rewarding descent!" Then, refocus as the road twists and turns just beyond with a double bend that demands your attention and puts your brakes to the test.

The utmost care with which this ancient monastery is being restored arouses deep admiration and respect.
