Costa Blanca Curated: Our Team’s Favorite Climbs
To give you a peek into our curated itineraries, our team challenged itself to pick a singe absolute favorite climb that they’re most looking forward to introducing to our guests.
Here are the three local staples that define the ultimate luxury Rêverie experience in Costa Blanca.
Bill’s Pick: The Panoramic Switchbacks of Vall d'Ebo
The Ride: This route showcases the incredible geographical diversity of the region, offering a beautifully steady gradient. Your journey begins by rolling through lush, fragrant orange groves before hitting a satisfying series of switchbacks that wind smoothly through deep pine forests.
The Reward: At the summit, you are treated to breathtaking, panoramic views stretching across the entire Pego valley all the way out to the glittering Mediterranean Sea.
Sara’s Pick: The Hidden Serenity of Val de Laguar
The Ride: A peaceful, narrow road guides you far away from the coast and deep into the dramatic mountainous interior. Sara loves how these quiet roads offer a steady, engaging climb that winds gracefully through charming local villages, olive groves, and blooming cherry orchards.
The Reward: While the incline provides a fantastic challenge, the tranquil atmosphere and the stunning, dramatic views of the valleys below make the effort entirely worth it.
Gabriel’s Pick: The Rewarding Heights of "Super Rates" (Coll de Rates)
Gabriel’s top pick is a legendary climb that sits right in our backyard during our stay: the famous Coll de Rates. But as Gabriel always points out to our riders, the traditional "top" simply sets the stage for something even better.
The Ride: Just as the main road crests, we take you to a hidden extension known locally as Super Rates. This section turns into a bike-path-wide concrete track packed with switchbacks.
The Reward: Once you conquer this final section, you will reach the watchtower at the very top. The reward is a flawless, 360-degree view of the Costa Blanca region that makes every single watt worth it.
