Unfortunately, it's no longer a hidden gem. Even now, in February 2026, you can see cars and camper vans parked there. The whole area wasn't particularly inviting for swimming.

This spot, which feeds the Bullent River, is visited by residents of Oliva, visitors from other towns, and even foreign tourists. It is undoubtedly a privileged place worth visiting, especially for its location within the natural park, its proximity to the beach, and its health tourism, as it is an underground source of thermal waters—with a considerable sulfur content—whose waters have traditionally been recognized as beneficial for treating dermatological diseases.

The Church of Santa María la Mayor in Gandia stands on the site of an earlier 13th-century temple, of which a Gothic chapel and a Mudéjar pointed arch still remain. In the 17th century, the Communion Chapel was added, and an initial remodeling project began, but remained unfinished. The bell tower was completed in 1695. Construction of the current church began in 1705 but was interrupted during the War of the Spanish Succession. In 1754, a large part of the roof, dome, and nave collapsed, necessitating further remodeling. Following the completion of this work, the church was consecrated in 1787. Today, Santa María la Mayor combines Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque elements and represents both a spiritual center and an important testimony to the architecture and history of Gandia.

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.

Just off the road between Sagra and Pego, the small turnoff toward Vall d’Ebo leads into one of the most beautiful and tranquil climbs in the Costa Blanca mountains. It may not be famous outside of cycling circles — but pros know it well: Tadej Pogačar holds the Strava KOM on this climb. From the Pego side, the ascent runs for about 8 km, gaining 400 metres at a steady average of 5%. The road is smooth, quiet, and beautifully engineered — with a flowing rhythm and wide, elegant curves. The landscape is peaceful and wild, with cliffs, pines, and far-reaching views. At the top, just before you descend into Vall d’Ebo, you’re rewarded with a spectacular view in both directions: looking back, the coastline and the Mediterranean Sea; looking ahead, the lush green valley of Vall d’Ebo, framed by rugged ridges and rocky outcrops. It’s a rare and stunning double panorama. If you continue past the village, you can create a magnificent loop via Pla de Petracos, riding through remote canyons and ancient rock formations before descending into Benigembla and back to the Vall de Pop. If you're riding from Vall d’Ebo toward Pego, the climb is shorter — about 3 km at 6% — but still very scenic, especially as you rise above the valley with dramatic views behind you. Vall d’Ebo may be quiet, but it’s world-class: pure road, total calm, and the kind of climb you’ll want to ride again and again.

Tucked away in the mountains between Tàrbena and Castell de Castells, the Puerto de Sa Creueta offers two distinct climbing experiences — and both are worth riding. From Tàrbena, the climb is friendly and scenic. You’ll face about 4 km of steady climbing at around 5%, followed by a rolling 3.5 km section with gentle ups and downs. Just before the top, a short final ramp kicks up sharply to around 12%, but overall this side is rhythmical and not too demanding. The road is wide, smooth and virtually traffic-free, ideal for a relaxed climb. Approaching via the Castell de Castells side, from Tollos or from Benigembla and the Vall de Pop, is a whole different story. After a relatively calm start, the climb hits hard with a 2 km stretch averaging around 10% — sustained, steep, and guaranteed to get your legs burning. This side is definitely more challenging, and a great test for climbers. No matter which direction you choose, you’ll be rewarded with expansive views over the valley near Tàrbena, the rugged peaks of the Marina mountains, and — on a clear day — even the Mediterranean Sea and the skyline of Altea shimmering in the distance. Puerto de Sa Creueta is a hidden gem: peaceful, beautiful and tougher than it looks, especially if you come at it from the inland side. Combine it with Coll de Rates for an unforgettable day in the heart of the Costa Blanca.

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.

The road from Pego to Sagra is a hidden gem for cyclists. With almost no traffic, it winds gently upward through shaded sections and rolling gradients — never too steep, but always engaging. Perfect for finding rhythm after the descent from Port de Sorell, this stretch offers a rare mix of quiet, flow, and relief from the sun on hot days.

This descent is a dream for cyclists: technically engaging, beautifully scenic, and remarkably quiet. As you begin your ride down towards Pego, a stunning panorama opens up—sweeping views over the valley with the Mediterranean Sea shimmering in the distance. The asphalt is excellent, and the well-shaped corners make for a smooth and safe descent. The road winds through rugged rock formations and Mediterranean vegetation, and thanks to the minimal traffic, you can truly enjoy the peace and space. Still, stay focused—some bends are tight, and your speed can build quickly. Take a moment to stop at one of the scenic viewpoints, as the landscape is nothing short of spectacular. And a fun fact for cycling fans: none other than Tadej Pogačar holds the fastest time on the climb here—a testament to the sporting character of this iconic route.

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.
