Gorga is a peaceful village in Alicante’s El Comtat region, perched at about 545 metres above sea level. With around 280 inhabitants, it lies at the edge of the Vall de Seta, surrounded by olive groves, almond trees and dry stone terraces. Sheltered by the southern slopes of the Serra de la Serrella, Gorga is the kind of place where time moves slowly and the road ahead always promises something quieter. For cyclists, Gorga is a perfect transition point. Heading north, it connects directly to the beautiful and quiet climbs of Quatretondeta, Fageca, and Castell de Castells. To the south, it links naturally to the long ascents toward Confrides, Puerto de Tudons, or the scenic CV-70 corridor that cuts across the Sierra de Aitana. Whether you’re climbing up from Benilloba or descending from the high passes, Gorga offers a natural pause — a breather between bigger efforts. The village itself is small but welcoming: a shaded plaza, a trickling fountain, and the occasional bar where you might catch a conversation or a cool drink. There’s little traffic and plenty of charm. With its central location and quiet atmosphere, Gorga isn’t just a waypoint — it’s one of those places that grounds a ride, offering rhythm between the climbs. Cycling tip: If you’re linking big climbs like Puerto de Tudons with the Serrella villages, Gorga makes an ideal rest point. Top up your bottles, take in the view, and enjoy the calm before the next ascent.

If you’re looking for a peaceful and scenic day out in nature, Marjal de Pego-Oliva Natural Park is a hidden gem worth exploring. It’s a beautiful wetland area located between the towns of Pego and Oliva on the Costa Blanca, full of wildlife, rice fields, and freshwater springs. 🚶‍♂️ What to Do There • Walk or cycle the trails: There are several easy routes, including wooden boardwalks over the marsh, great for families or casual walkers. One of the most popular paths is the Ruta del Bullent, a circular walk that brings you close to rivers, rice fields, and the famous natural spring. • Swim in the Font Salada: This is a warm natural spring (about 21–24°C all year) where you can take a dip. The water is known for its skin-healing properties. • Birdwatching: The area is rich in biodiversity, with herons, ducks, and even rare fish and turtles. Bring binoculars if you can. • Enjoy the peaceful views: There are viewing platforms offering panoramic vistas of the marshes and surrounding mountains. 🧭 Tips for Your Visit • Follow the marked trails to protect the environment and avoid getting lost. • Bring water and sun protection, especially in summer. • Respect nature: take your trash with you, keep noise down, and don’t disturb animals or plants. • Avoid weekends in high season if you prefer quiet – it can get busy, especially at the spring. 🚗 Getting There & Parking Access is easy from the N-332 or the CV-700. If you’re visiting Font Salada, note that parking has recently been restricted. There’s a new small car park nearby (Racó del Fuster), and the spring is a short walk from there. It’s a perfect half-day trip, especially if you’re staying near Denia, Oliva, Jávea or inland in places like Pego or Alcalalí. Ideal for nature lovers, photographers, families, or anyone needing a peaceful break in nature.
