20의 알리칸테가지 명소 & 주요 장소

The Green Way of Dénia (Vía Verde Dénia-El Verger) is one of the most beautiful and easily accessible routes in the municipality. It follows the old railway line that connected Dénia with Carcaixent (Valencia) and is now an ideal route for hiking, cycling, or simply relaxing in a peaceful and natural setting.

Good paved road, moderate traffic. Views of the reservoir, the Aitana and Serrella mountain ranges, and villages like Beniardà and Benimantell.

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.

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.

It's worth going up the castle just for the views that accompany us along the way. I recommend entering from Eret Park. P.S. Admission to the castle is free :)

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.

Nice climb on a quiet road.
