Find out why Altea has established itself as the favourite destination for cyclists from all over the world.

Our White Villa offers an unbeatable combination for lovers of two wheels, where an exceptional microclimate with more than 300 days of sunshine a year joins an orography capable of challenging the most experts or giving unforgettable walks by the sea.

Altea is, by nature, the ideal starting point where the softness of the bay merges with the demands of the mountains that embrace us. If you are looking for the adrenaline of the asphalt, from here you can challenge the mythical mountain passes of the area, such as the famous Coll de Rates or the winding ascent to Guadalest, always riding on secondary roads in perfect condition and under the imposing gaze of the Sierra Bernia.

For those who prefer direct contact with the land, the MTB and Gravel routes allow you to explore the trails that border the Algar riverbed or get lost in the rural roads that wind through the aroma of the loquat and orange groves. On the other hand, if you simply want to disconnect in company, Altea offers flat and safe routes through its green corridor, comfortably connecting the urban area with the breeze of the coastal area and the peace of the river environment.

This experience is completed with a service infrastructure fully oriented to cyclists. Altea has a wide network of 'Bike-Friendly' establishments that offer everything from safe custody and self-repair workshops to specific menus for athletes. In addition, the town has professional shops for the rental of state-of-the-art bicycles and specialized technical assistance.

It is no coincidence that the best teams on the international circuit choose our roads every pre-season; here, the effort of the mountain pass is rewarded with a coffee in its adorable corners or a healthy recovery in front of the Mediterranean. Get ready to pedal under the dome of the Mediterranean and discover landscapes that remain etched in your retina and challenges that test your legs.
