The ride from Calpe starts along the coast before heading inland toward Callosa d’en Sarrià, where the climb to Puerto de Tárbena begins. It’s a well-known ascent in the region, winding through pine-covered hills and switchbacks with open views toward the coast. From the summit, the route drops down Coll de Rates, a classic among many pros, fast and flowing with big mountain views. The road then eases through the Jalón Valley, passing Parcent, Alcalalí, Jalón and Llíber, all good spots to stop for a coffee. The final stretch returns to the coast along a scenic road with wide views of the sea and the Peñón de Ifach.
