라펠구아라프‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪6‬개의 산길

🚴‍♂️ A short but powerful pass, with views to swoon over. Highly recommended is this section between Simat and Barx, a classic in the area that has everything we're looking for in a great getaway: history, slopes, nature, and picture-postcard panoramas. ⁣ The route starts off with a bang, next to the majestic monastery of Santa Maria de la Valldigna, and begins to gain altitude with a series of hairpin bends that get you started. As you climb, you leave the valley behind and the Vall de la Valldigna appears in all its splendor: Simat, Benifairó, Tavernes, and the monastery... a view worth every pedal stroke! Before reaching Barx, there is a detour to the left towards "Les Foies," a hamlet of Simat. Upon reaching Font del Cirer, you can stop for a drink or sit down and take some photos of the valley. Further along, following the road, comes one of the most challenging sections: a slope reaching up to 14% that tests your legs just before reaching the summit of the hamlet of Les Foies. But don't worry: the effort is rewarded. The final stretch through white pines to Font Nova is a delight. Here, you have a perfect recreational area to stop, catch your breath, and recharge your batteries amidst the shade and nature, or simply enjoy the silence after your effort.

The "Col de Rates de la Safor" The Barx Pass, from Simat, is a gem for any cycling enthusiast. A climb that perfectly combines effort with the beauty of the surroundings. Each curve offers a new perspective of the Valldigna Valley, while the monastery remains behind as a silent witness to the ascent. Frequently used by local cyclists, it's an ideal stretch to enjoy at a leisurely pace, feeling each pedal stroke amidst nature and heritage. With several well-defined hairpin bends and a steady but manageable gradient, it's perfect for enjoying the effort without suffering too much. Pass details: 6.3 km | 301 m elevation gain | average gradient of 4.8% | ramps of up to 9.8%.

Very good view of Valldigna and a well-deserved rest after climbing the port of Simat-Barx.
