Cycling in Jávea

Jávea sits in the heart of the Costa Blanca, one of the world's premier cycling destinations. Long, quiet inland roads, demanding climbs through the Sierra de Bernia and the Coll de Rates, and mild winter temperatures attract professional teams and amateurs alike every year.

For more casual riders there are flat coastal cycle paths, e-bike tours and family-friendly routes through the orange groves.

Classic routes include the Coll de Rates (49 km, iconic climb), the Vall d'Ebo loop, and the Cabo de la Nau coastal road. Quiet inland roads, excellent surfaces and breath-taking scenery.

The Vía Verde del Mascarat (a converted railway path) and the flat coastal route to Dénia are ideal for families and casual riders. E-bikes available for hire.

Several specialist shops in Jávea rent road bikes, mountain bikes, e-bikes and family hybrids. Road bikes from €25/day; e-bikes from €30/day.

November to April is peak season for serious road cyclists – mild temperatures, dry weather and well-stocked support infrastructure. Summer rides should start at dawn.
