Cycling day trip from Beniarrés to Beneixama

This ride takes you from the charming village of Beniarrés, set against the green hills of Alicante, to Beneixama, a peaceful inland town known for its almond trees and rustic vibe. The route winds south-west for just under 48 km through mostly quiet country roads and some scenic tracks—so expect lots of tranquility and very little traffic.

You'll climb nearly 1,000 meters along the way, with some solid ascents that’ll get your heart pumping (maximum elevation hits just over 800 meters!). Surfaces are mostly paved, but with some rougher and missing patches—so a gravel or touring bike with sturdy tires would be ideal.

As you leave Beniarrés, famous for its reservoir and traditional fiestas, you'll pass through olive groves, pine woods, and small hamlets. Stretch your legs with a café stop in one of the villages en route. You’ll finish in Beneixama, where you can admire its historic towers and possibly catch the scent of almonds in the air. Perfect for cyclists looking for an authentic rural experience with a bit of a challenge!
