Route 10: Beniarrés Reservoir

In this spectacular route we head to Beniarrés, a town known for its reservoir and the beauty of the surroundings.

For the outward journey we will take direction Pego (CV-678) and go up the road to La Vall de Gallinera (CV-700). On this same road, we will continue towards Planes. Once we start the descent and before reaching the village, we will take a small road that will take us directly to the reservoir and then to Beniarrés (CV-711).

The return will be through the municipality of Lorcha (CV-701) and La Llacuna. This section is quite demanding with long and steep ramps, but then we just have to enjoy a nice descent to Villalonga and flat to Oliva and then head to Dénia.
