Tips from the Community
El convent d'Aigües Vives, també anomenat Reial Monestir de Santa Maria d'Aigües Vives, és un antic monestir amb orígens que es remunten al segle XIII. L'edifici actual es va construir durant els segles XVI i XVII, amb els corresponents estils, renaixentista i barroc, si bé l'ala nord es va acabar en el segle XVIII. El monestir va pertànyer a l'orde dels agustins, orde que custodiava la imatge de la Mare de Déu d'Aigües Vives, patrona de la ciutat de La Barraca d'Aigües Vives. A mitjan segle XIX, a conseqüència de la desamortització de Mendizábal, els monjos hagueren d'abandonar el cenobi. Aquest va passar a mans dels barons de Casanova, que el destinaren com a habitatge rural. L'any 1977 el monestir fou adquirit i reformat per a destinar-lo a hotel residència per Antonio Vidal Bellver (fotògraf i empresari de Carcaixent). Actualment és propietat d'un empresari hoteler de Gandia. El 2024, la Generalitat Valenciana va instar els nous propietaris a fer obres per a mantenir aquesta obra major que ha patit un deteriorament progressiu com a conseqüència de robatoris, vandalisme i abandonament.

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

Jaume II of Aragon (1298): "A valley worthy of a monastery of your religion" Take a break and enjoy the view. From here, the Valldigna Valley and Tavernes look spectacular. After all the effort, you deserve this moment to regain your strength and enjoy the scenery. You don't always have to be pedaling; sometimes it's best to stop and let the mountain carry you away. Enjoy the ride again. The Valldigna remains a spectacular place to enjoy the mountains, cycling, hiking, and history. Tavernes de la Valldigna, Simat, Benifairó, and Barx are part of this valley, which, centuries later, remains "worthy" of contemplation.

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. Frequently used by local cyclists, it's an ideal stretch to enjoy at a leisurely pace, feeling each pedal stroke amidst nature and heritage. 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%.

On the CV-675 after Barx and leaving the La Drova development towards Gandía we find a recreational area where we can stop to rest or eat something, there is a fountain where you can refill water for the journey.
