1. Briefing

Beautiful ride along the coast of Xàbia. The first climb will bring us to the top of “Cap de la Nau”. Easy climb and a good warming up for what is coming next. 

The circuit also brings us to the beach of “La Granadella” (km 15), one of the most beautiful beaches in the are. 

The serious hill 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). 

2. climbs

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 and last kilometers. 

4. ROAD QUALITY

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