Lovely climb to a beautiful castle with phenomenal views of a water reservoir. The town is a landmark in the region for this reason.

Heerlijke klim naar een mooi kasteel met een fenomenaal uitzicht op een waterreservoir. Het stadje is om die reden een bezienswaardigheid in de regio.

Nice climb to extend your round trip from Calpe via Parcent over the Rates. I did it after a considerable effort on the goat path to the Rates, so this climb felt a little less fun :).

Leuke klim om je rondje vanuit Calpe via Parcent over de Rates uit te breiden. Ik deed hem na een flinke inspanning op het geitenpad naar de Rates, dus deze klim voelde iets minder leuk :).
