Five towns, one complete loop

Discover the quieter side of the Costa Blanca

This scenic E-MTB route leaves the coast behind and heads into the rolling landscape of the Marina Alta. Starting at Elite Bikes in Jávea, the loop travels through the countryside towards Teulada before continuing to Benissa and the small village of Senija.

The return passes through the rural surroundings of Gata de Gorgos and back towards Jávea. Along the way, the route mixes paved connections, country lanes, gravel and off-road sections, with wide views towards the surrounding mountains and valleys.

At 47.8 km with approximately 601 metres of climbing, this is a substantial but enjoyable e-MTB ride. It works especially well as a social group route because the electric assistance makes the rolling inland terrain accessible without removing the sense of adventure.
