The port of Barx is a Valencian classic. Its horseshoe bends run over the panorama of the surrounding mountains and the Mediterranean coast.

Handy water tap in Gaianes. This is a perfect spot on the route for cyclists exploring the quiet roads around the reservoir and the climbs towards Planes. Ideal for stopping to refill your water bottles during your ride. And also photogenic with a beautiful mural.

The Royal Monastery of Santa Maria de Valldigna was founded by James II the Just on March 15, 1298, who gave the Alfàndec valley to Abbot Bononat of Vila-seca to found a monastery of the Cistercian order, a branch of the Santes Creus monastery. It was the first monastery of such importance built in the ancient Kingdom of Valencia, after the Christian conquest. Days after the royal donation, James II, brother Bononat and his entourage met at the place of Ràfol (a Christian village in the valley founded after the conquest of James I) to take possession of the territory, plus one mile inland, the castles of Marinyén, Alcalà and the tower of Mondúber.

"This is the exact point where the bike wants to fly... but the view forces you to brake. Serra de les Agulles in the background and Santa Maria de la Valldigna below. A rewarding descent!" Then, refocus as the road twists and turns just beyond with a double bend that demands your attention and puts your brakes to the test.

The "Col de Rates de la Safor" The Barx Pass, from Simat, is a gem for any cycling enthusiast. A climb that perfectly combines effort with the beauty of the surroundings. Each curve offers a new perspective of the Valldigna Valley, while the monastery remains behind as a silent witness to the ascent.

With several well-defined hairpin bends and a steady but manageable gradient, it's perfect for enjoying the effort without suffering too much. Pass details: 6.3 km | 301 m elevation gain | average gradient of 4.8% | ramps of up to 9.8%.
