Recommended because of the scenery and tranquility (contrast with busy Costa Blanca. The asphalt is not finishable. I would not want to descend it. The descent to L'Orxa is fine. Through the village you can cycle back to Villalonga on cv-701.

Water fountain available at the bottom. Very irregular profile combined with poor road surface, though easily rideable on road bike, make the climb quite tough. Don't forget to look back closer to the top to see amazing scenery.

Hardly any chicken around here. Completely deserted. Just hearing yourself gasp and silence.

Very tough irregular climb, not normal, really mega hard. There is even a small piece of gravel in it. Asphalt is not everywhere to write home to.
Views are particularly beautiful. This climb has everything, but is not for the average cyclist.
Descent is also beautiful.
Do you want a little less suffering than you can better this col from l'Orxa drive. Equally beautiful!
