This route takes you to the town of Altea. Once out of Altea, the road slowly goes up until you reach the picturesque town of Castell de Guadalest. This town is the perfect place to stop en route, just before the stretch that leads downhill to the beautiful reservoir. From there, you’ll hit your final climb that brings you back to the village of Castell de Guadalest.

Once at the top of Castell de Guadalest, you descend on a nicely paved road all the way down to Altea. The way back to Calp is relatively easy, with only a few short climbs along the way.
