Just off the coast lies a beautiful MTB terrain! |
In the spotlight |
The Costa Blanca is well known as the training area for road cyclists. Ranging from recreational riders to the large ProTour teams, many of them come to places like Calpe, Altea and Benidorm to train. Which is quite logical counting the fact that the Costa Blanca is Spain´s area with the mildest winters and moderate summers. And the route profile ensures you will get your much needed interval training.
The Costa Blanca is less known for its excellent network of MTB tracks. But just off the coast lies a wealth of trails with different levels of difficulty, taking you through areas with little motorised traffic, generally on dirt paths or farm roads. For example: the Jalón valley - which is less than ten kilometres from Moraira - has 260 km tracks. And behind Benitachell - just five kilometres from Moraira centre - lies another 210 km tracks. And these are just the signposted routes! |
