During this cycling holiday, you will be staying at the Spectacular Villa. This is a privately owned villa, perched above the shores of the lake “Presa embalse de Beniarrés”, sitting in a high valley with hills and mountains to the east and west. Each morning, the sun rises over the tops of the peaks to the east casting long shadows and bathing morning light across the valley to touch the lake, hidden under a veil of mist that will soon be burnt off by the rising sun.
The villa is split on two levels. Upstairs has three twin rooms, quality linens, double inbuilt wardrobe, and storage. These upstairs rooms share a bathroom with toilet as well as a separate toilet. Downstairs has two twin configuration rooms, shared kitchen and living room and bathroom. There will be a maximum of 8 people sharing accepted, or 4 single occupancy, or a mix of both.
Guests will have full access to spacious living room with open fire, balcony, patio, and swimming pool (season dependent). The English owner and coach will reside at the villa and will be available to help you and answer any questions you may have on the local area, cycling, etc.
Your first impression is one of tranquility, the English-owned villa nestles in its own fields of olive groves overlooking a placid lake with only the occasional sounds of ducks and the chirping of the multitude bird life that surround the immediate area.
The nearest houses and the town of Beniarres are just over 1500 meters away, there is the air of calmness and stillness running through the villa and its surrounds. The chill of the night is quickly replaced by warmth as we tuck in a breakfast of "Heuvos Con Tostados", or cereals if you prefer, washed down by coffee and tea.
This is not a breakfast to be lingered over as you have ahead of you miles of open roads, beautifully surfaced and to all intents and purposes devoid of traffic. It is easy to count more cyclists than vehicle by a wide margin. This is an unspoilt area of Spain, famous for its rolling terrain, mountainous passes, full-on hill climbs, sweeping descents through valleys full of cherries, olives, and on the lower slopes, the ubiquitous oranges and lemon groves of the Valencia region.
Stop for a moment and listen, it is quiet, no hum of traffic, the nights are clear of light pollution, the stars glisten, the air is clean and sharp, and as you start at 1,000 feet above sea level, there is a touch of altitude training in the mix.
The choice of rides is wide open. Perhaps you would like a short ride to loosen the legs, a ride to the sea with the added choice to return by train if your legs are feeling a little heavy that day, or a full-on ride that includes short but punchy climbs and long valley ascents that will test you and build core endurance.
If you ride south-east, you climb the over the hills to La Vall d'Ebo before a staggering drop of 500 meters towards the sea on the northern tip of the Denia peninsula. Take a northwest route, you can climb up from Beniarres towards the towns of Salem and Castello De Rugat. These are days for climbing.
If you want a flatter day, you ride through the valley floor, treated to rolling terrain that allows you to ride without too much ascent, enjoying an easier day with a full lunch at a nearby restaurant in Muro de Alcoy before ambling back to the villa for an afternoon’s siesta.
You go east across the valley floor, taking the wide, open and very safe road. This takes you to the head of valley at L'Orxa. Stop here for a coffee, or continue to enjoy the hairpins that will make you feel that you have earned your lunch.
Talking of which, this would be not a cycling holiday without the choice of route being in some part dictated by the promise of a lunch of tapas, perhaps a small cerveza and rich stews of locally hunted wild boar or venison. Away from the crowds the bars and restaurants are family run and friendly, you quickly feel part of this community.
Bring some euros or a card, the prices reflect the rural nature of this part of Spain, you will not need to dig too deep in your wallets for a full and tasty lunch! This holiday caters for a maximum of eight people at any one time, including non-riders, in this exclusive location; calmness, relaxation and intimacy are the bywords.
During this cycling holiday, you will be provided with daily breakfast. For the evenings of the holiday, you will be free to visit the local restaurants, expect to budget 25 EUR for a three course meal or significantly less if you fancy tapas and a beer.
Kindly note that due to the kitchen layout, the villa cannot cater for nut and other allergies.
