Route 9: La Vall de Gallinera

Undoubtedly this is, along with route 8, one of our star routes.

We will approach Pego through Beniarbeig and Sagra (CV-729) to climb the “Els Pilarets” pass behind (CV-715).

Just before reaching Pego we will take the CV-712 to climb first a mythical mountain pass such as La Vall d’Ebo and later the steep ramps of the Cova del Rull (Cova del Rull). We will reach a stretch of up and down through La Vall d’Alcalà and finally we will make the beautiful descent through La Vall de Gallinera (CV-700) back to Pego.

The return to Dénia is done flat along the road called “la Peladora” (CV-678). It is a small stretch of road N-332 and the old road to Gandía (CV-723).

It is also a very good option to do this route in the opposite direction. Going up through La Vall de Gallinera and back through La Vall d’Alcalà and La Vall d’Ebo. In this way it is much more accessible as the climb is much steeper and we will find the ramps, steep slope, downhill.
