Cycle with the best of Valencia

You arrive in Biar, a town well-equipped with cultural heritage and crowned by its magnificent 11th-century castle. You can wander around the town's old quarters with its labyrinth of narrow streets as well as picturesque squares and churches.

Accommodation in Biar

You cycle on the old railway track along the Vinalopó river. You approach Banyeres de Mariola and along the way you pass forest areas and fruit orchards. The cycling takes you further on flat terrain and borders the natural area Serra de Mariola before you finally reach the medieval town of Bocairent after a few kilometers.

Accommodation in Bocairent

Today you venture into Paraje Natural de la Sierra de Mariola. Here you will marvel at the fantastic views, flora and fauna. At the end of today's bike tour you reach the lively town of Alcoi, where you can enjoy its own gastronomic interpretations and its selection of wines.

Today's route is undoubtedly one of the most exciting and spectacular of the entire journey. The uneven contrasts offered by the inner mountain valleys are much greater than those found in valleys closer to the Mediterranean. You pedal through the higher terrain with views over Lake Beniarrés as well as over mountains like Benicadell and Montcabrer. You follow a green path above the Serpis river and finally reach a lush landscape of orange groves. Now you begin to feel the sea breeze and it's obvious that the sea lies ahead and not too far away. Today you have the opportunity to choose between two different routes, one slightly easier and one slightly more difficult.

Accommodation in Villalonga

You start the day cycling past orange groves and soon encounter remains of marshland known as "marjaler", a favorite spot for nesting birds and a real paradise for birdwatchers. You enter a beautiful small valley to follow part of the pilgrimage route that linked different monasteries and where there's an opportunity to explore the impressive monastery of Simat de la Valldigna. Among rice fields you reach Cullera, a coastal town with beautiful sea views where you can taste some of the area's rice specialties. This town has plenty of beaches that you can enjoy even in winter if the sun shines.

Accommodation in Cullera

If you choose the longer alternative, you start along the shore of the Xúquer river, whose waters irrigate the district's many productive fields and groves. You then cycle on to the nature reserve called Parque Natural de la Albufera, one of the most valuable ecosystems in the Mediterranean. You will be able to marvel at various natural environments such as lakes, marshes, sand dunes and pine forests that border the sea. It's well worth enjoying one of the typical dishes of this quite special district. When you reach Valencia you will explore the formidable old quarters with its cathedral and central market. Not to be missed are the narrow streets and squares that offer so many types of cafés, bars and restaurants.
