There are several tunnels on the route. 2 to 3 longer ones: you absolutely need light. Otherwise, it's pitch dark.

A beautiful hike through the Hell's Gorge. The actual route along the railway line, and probably the most interesting section between L'Orcha and Mare de Deu (Barranco del Infierno = Hell's Gorge), is unpaved and unpaved, in some parts very gravelly and rough. Five metal bridges are missing, two stone bridges remain, and six tunnels are traversed, all without lighting.

On Grabel, it's advisable to keep your tire pressures correct. I recommend over-inflating rather than underinflating. There are some cobblestone areas.

Tucked away in the mountains of the Marina Alta, Vall de Gallinera is one of the Costa Blanca’s most scenic and peaceful cycling routes. The name literally means “Valley of the Chickens” — 🐓🐔 — a nod to the valley’s Moorish past, when this fertile land was known for its farms and poultry. These days, the valley is all about cherries. In spring, the hills burst into bloom with white cherry blossoms — an incredible sight on two wheels. By May and June, the trees are full of ripe, sweet cherries, and local farmers sell them fresh from roadside stalls. 🍒 The route winds through eight tiny villages, like Benissili, Alpatró, and Benirrama, connected by quiet mountain roads with gentle gradients, flowing curves, and spectacular views.
