At the mouth of the Río Molinell, which forms the border between Dénia and Oliva, a small bridge spans the river. It connects the coastal paths of both towns and provides cyclists and walkers with a convenient crossing away from the main roads. From here, a wide view opens up of the estuary, where the river winds its way through reed beds and dunes to the sea. The confluence of fresh and salt water is particularly impressive, creating a diverse landscape with a rich birdlife. For cyclists, the bridge provides a convenient crossing point for continuing their tour between Dénia and Oliva or for taking a short break.

The Puerto de Sorell is a quiet and under-the-radar ridge climb in the northern Costa Blanca, linking Pego and Ràfol d’Almúnia via the CV‑728. It’s not long, not high — but it’s a perfect connector on a peaceful inland loop. From Ràfol d’Almúnia, the climb is 2.7 km long at an average gradient of 3.1%. It’s a smooth, steady ascent through olive groves and farmland, ideal for keeping a light rhythm and soaking up the rural scenery. The road surface is good and traffic is almost nonexistent. From the Pego side, the climb is roughly the same length but considerably steeper, with sections reaching 6 to 8%. It’s a short but honest effort, and a nice little test when coming up from the coastal plain. The views are wide and open — toward the Segària range, the valley below, and even the sea in the distance. At the summit, you'll spot the blue "Puerto de Sorell – 170 m" sign, a modest but official col marker that makes the climb feel just a bit more special. From here, you can descend either way or continue inland toward Vall de Gallinera, Vall d’Ebo, or Coll de Rates. Puerto de Sorell is a local favourite: short, scenic, quiet — and perfect for linking bigger climbs on a longer ride.

If you’re looking for a peaceful and scenic day out in nature, Marjal de Pego-Oliva Natural Park is a hidden gem worth exploring. It’s a beautiful wetland area located between the towns of Pego and Oliva on the Costa Blanca, full of wildlife, rice fields, and freshwater springs. 🚶‍♂️ What to Do There • Walk or cycle the trails: There are several easy routes, including wooden boardwalks over the marsh, great for families or casual walkers. One of the most popular paths is the Ruta del Bullent, a circular walk that brings you close to rivers, rice fields, and the famous natural spring. • Swim in the Font Salada: This is a warm natural spring (about 21–24°C all year) where you can take a dip. The water is known for its skin-healing properties. • Birdwatching: The area is rich in biodiversity, with herons, ducks, and even rare fish and turtles. Bring binoculars if you can. • Enjoy the peaceful views: There are viewing platforms offering panoramic vistas of the marshes and surrounding mountains. 🧭 Tips for Your Visit • Follow the marked trails to protect the environment and avoid getting lost. • Bring water and sun protection, especially in summer. • Respect nature: take your trash with you, keep noise down, and don’t disturb animals or plants. • Avoid weekends in high season if you prefer quiet – it can get busy, especially at the spring. 🚗 Getting There & Parking Access is easy from the N-332 or the CV-700. If you’re visiting Font Salada, note that parking has recently been restricted. There’s a new small car park nearby (Racó del Fuster), and the spring is a short walk from there. It’s a perfect half-day trip, especially if you’re staying near Denia, Oliva, Jávea or inland in places like Pego or Alcalalí. Ideal for nature lovers, photographers, families, or anyone needing a peaceful break in nature.

Having lunch at the La Oliva bar in Beniarrés at the foot of the Benicadell is an experience that is nothing short of mystical. Here, breakfast is a religion.

The 7.5 km climb to Sa Creueta from the Tàrbena junction is a scenic and steady ascent with an average gradient of 3.5%, ideal as part of a longer route through the Costa Blanca mountains. Most of the climb is gentle, but the final 500 meters kick up steeply, with gradients well over 10% — a real sting in the tail! At the top, there’s no monument or sign — just a quiet mountain road and an incredible reward: panoramic views over the Mediterranean Sea, with Altea, Albir, and Benidorm visible on clear days. It’s one of those peaceful spots that feels like a secret. ⚠️ Be cautious on the descent toward Castell de Castells: several steep, narrow hairpin bends demand full attention. The road surface can be variable, so keep your speed in check and your line smooth.

Take a torch for the tunnels, 3 are long and very dark. Beautiful views right down to the coast around Alicante.

great environment with the MTB

After arriving a lorxa castle keep going do not turn left after 2km and cross the main road and head down to the river. There is NO bridge to cross a very deep river 26/3/25. Instead keep going along the top rural road till you meet the main road cross it directly drop left down the rural road and shoot through the long tunnel, arriving at village, then several options to get to the lake.

short VIDEOs about this hike could be found at the following links at my youTUBE channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=77nMyRJvnZw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WVZN57p8yuA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7QFmKmQYq4U

Great road , closest to a mountain road in this area .

A quiet loop around the lake, perfect as a Richmond Park replacement

You definitely need a decent light for this tunnel! Two other tunnels along this section also are long enough to be pitch black in the middle. The tunnels are concreted so the surface is good with no lumps or bumps. My wife’s electric bike has almost a cars headlight but even with that she said she got disoriented. It’s panic mode without a decent light. Note also that some tunnels have a very high kerb along one side, if you hit one you’ll be on the deck, so beware.

Tough climb, but the reward of the views is a gift

Most relaxing section of your cycling trip around SEGARIA area (El Verger - Beniarbeig - Pego - El Verger!..🤝✊👍

When it comes to the most beautiful towns in Alicante, Polop de la Marina always has a place on the list, as few places have as much charm and tourist appeal as this beautiful little corner of Alicante. I recommend a visit and especially seeing the Castell.
