Cycling route with the Bernia (climb) via Xaló
You depart from Vuelta Turistica in Calpe, an ideal base for a delightful cycling holiday. The route begins along the coast towards Cap Blanc, offering stunning views of the Mediterranean Sea right from the start. You have the option to tackle the famous climb to La Cumbre del Sol, but this can be skipped if you prefer to save your strength for later. You then continue towards Moraira and Sabia, eventually heading inland towards Pedreguer.
A beautiful and challenging climb to Bernia
After Pedreguer, a small but steep climb awaits along La Llosa de Camatxo. The descent takes you to Alcalali, after which you head towards Xaló. This picturesque village is a perfect spot for a short break. Here, you can enjoy a drink or a delicious pancake before starting the real challenge: the climb to Bernia. This climb is approximately 12.4 kilometers long, with an elevation gain of 345 meters, reaching the summit at 620 meters. The view from the top is breathtaking and makes the effort more than worthwhile.
Descending with caution and returning to Calpe
The descent from Bernia is initially steep and requires some caution, but it becomes less steep and somewhat bumpy afterwards. This descent takes you towards Benissa, where just before the village, you turn right for a gentle descent along the main road towards Calpe. The route leads you back to Vuelta Turistica via quiet roads, where you can relax and enjoy your ride on the terrace. Here, you can treat yourself to a well-deserved snack and drink while making plans for your next challenging ride.
