1. Briefing

The firts part of the circuit we will be riding along the coastal road between Calpe and Moraira. A nice road next to the sea but with some traffic, especially in winter.

The most serious hill of the circuit will come at km 30; Puig de la Llorença. Two times final stage of La Vuelta in the past 5 years witnessing the victory of Chris Froome (2017) and Tom Dumoulin (2015). 

We will be after heading towards rural roads with some minor climbs along the way and back to Calpe through a nice descend.

2. climbs

❚ Km 15 ⇝ 18 ❚ Short 3 km climb but enough to challenge your forces. The toughest sections are the start and the final kilometers, with steep gradients of 20%. The road is wide and in excellent condition. It is a residential area so expect some traffic during the climb and descend (in winter period is rather calm).

3. TRAFFIC

Expect some traffic in the first kilometers as we ride along the coast. 

4. ROAD QUALITY

The quality of the road is very good throughout the whole track.
