ROUTE PROFILE

It is our longest and possibly also the most demanding tour with its more than 3.000 m of positive elevation gain. Intended for experienced cyclists in good shape who want to enjoy a whole day of this exciting sport.

We leave Dénia and after passing Pedreguer and Parcent (CV-720) we will go up the Coll de Rates to go to Tárbena and then Callosa d'En Sarria (CV-15).

There we will head towards La Nucía and before reaching Benidorm we will turn off towards Finestrat (CV-758) to face the toughest pass of the day, Tudons mountain pass (1.024 m) going up Sella. After the descent through Alcoleja (CV-770) we still have a tough section through Quatretondeta. This section can be avoided by turning towards Gorga (CV-70), although this option is a bit longer.

Once we get to Facheca and the rest of the route is practically down through Castells de Castells (CV-720) and Orba except for some steep slopes after Famorca and before reaching Murla.
