Calp – Moraira
1. Briefing
The route takes us along coastal roads with some nice views overlooking the Mediterranean coast. It starts off relaxed, with shorts and easy climbs.
The first significant climb comes right after Moraira; Puig de la Llorença. It was twice the final stage of La Vuelta in the past 5 years, where we saw the likes of Chris Froome (2017) and Tom Dumoulin (2015) climb to victory.
You’ll then head inland to get back to Calp. Expect some tricky climbs along the way🚵🏽♀️👀.
2. CLimbs
A short yet punchy 3 km climb that’ll surely challenge your legs and will. The toughest sections are located at the start and in the final kilometres, with bits pushing 20% gradient💣💥. The road is wide and in excellent condition. It’s a (summer) residential area so expect some cars during the summer while riding up and down.
3. Traffic
Expect some traffic in the first kilometres. Once you cross the town of Poble Nou de Benitatxell, traffic will calm down significantly.
4. Road Quality
Road quality is very good throughout the whole track.
