Excursión ciclista de un día de Beniarrés a Denia

Set off from the quiet village of Beniarrés and trace your way east to the vibrant coastal town of Denia. This roughly 63 km ride is quite the micro-adventure, winding through the scenic countryside and rolling hills of Alicante province. There’s a good mix of surfaces—expect a lot of gravel and unpaved tracks (so a gravel or mountain bike is your friend here), and you’ll get to soak in the rustic vibe along mostly quiet roads.

You'll start out with some gentle climbing (the route’s highest point sits just under 400 meters) and then enjoy a long net descent toward the sea, with plenty of panoramic views to keep the legs spinning. Denia awaits at the finish, famous for its castle, historic old town, and turquoise beaches—perfect for a post-ride dip or a well-earned tapa.

Be ready for some rougher sections with about 60% of the surface not being paved, but the back-road charm makes it worthwhile. In all, it’s a rewarding journey from mountain foothills to the Mediterranean coast—bring plenty of water and your sense of adventure!
