Xàbia – Port de Bèrnia
1. Briefing
You’ll start your ride with a series of gentle climbs in the initial kilometers. Your first significant ascent, Port de Bèrnia, begins shortly after passing through the village of Benissa (around kilometer 15). This climb is relatively long but steady, offering breathtaking scenery and minimal traffic 🌴🚵🏽♀️. Once you reach the summit, you’ll enjoy a rewarding descent into the picturesque village of Xaló.
As you make your way back to Xàbia, you’ll encounter one final short climb just after the town of Lliber (kilometer 55). This final ascent will lead you to the town of Gata de Gorgos.
2. CLimbs
15-kilometer meandering rural road, starting with easy gradients but gradually increasing to around 9% in certain sections. The stunning views of Bèrnia will make the climb worthwhile, and you’ll appreciate the limited traffic. The most challenging part awaits in the final stretch, where gradients can reach up to 17% 🚩🚩.
3. Traffic
You might encounter some traffic during the final 8 kilometers. However, the entire climb to Bernia is generally very peaceful, with minimal traffic.
4. Road Quality
The tarmac might not be in perfect condition, especially in the initial kilometers as you ride across the rural road and in certain sections of the Port de Bèrnia climb.
