Costa Blanca Road Bike PRO (7 Days)
Ride some of the most demanding and iconic cycling routes in southern Europe on this self-guided, single-center road bike tour designed for experienced and performance-oriented cyclists in the Costa Blanca. Based near Fonts de l’Algar, this PRO version pushes the challenge further with longer stages, higher elevation gain and multiple classic mountain passes, including Coll de Rates, Puerto de Confrides, Puerto de Tudons, Bernia and Alto de Finestrat.
We’ve carefully selected routes that offer a deep immersion into the wild inland mountains of Alicante, crossing high plateaus, rugged valleys and traditional villages where cycling culture and everyday life blend naturally. Along the way, you’ll experience dramatic landscapes, quiet roads and authentic local atmosphere, creating a tour that is as mentally rewarding as it is physically demanding.
Over six consecutive riding days, the route flows through remote mountain roads, vineyard-lined valleys and striking coastal sections, combining endurance-focused climbs, long steady efforts and technical descents. There are no recovery days: this is a true training-camp-style experience designed for riders who want to build fitness, resilience and confidence on the bike.
Starting directly from your accommodation, the tour is ideal for strong recreational cyclists, club riders and advanced cyclists seeking a warm-weather training destination. Premium apartments, airport transfers and detailed GPX navigation ensure a focused, comfortable and hassle-free stay in one of Europe’s top year-round road cycling regions.
