My first really long climb. From Vilajoyosa up to Sella doable. From Sella the real work starts with stretches up to 10%, mostly 8 to 9% and that for 11 km. The road is good and particularly quiet. Overall a good reasonably even climb. Nice experience to cycle, Remember that your phone has no coverage You are thus hard to find for those back home.... read more

From the sea to the mountains! You start with your feet in the water and end up at an altitude of over 1,000 metres! Leaving Villajoyosa, there's a bit of traffic, but there are wide, accessible cycle paths that allow you to ride in complete peace and quiet. When you leave town, there's a strip on the side of the road all the way to the village of Sella, where you can ride without being bothered by cars. For the first 14 km, the gradient is very irregular, which gives us time to admire the landscape, which is truly superb. From Sella onwards things get more difficult with a more regular gradient around 6 to 7%. At 6 km from the summit you enter a pine forest that will allow you to ride in the shade all the way to the top. Beware ⚠️ of the few ramps at 9 and sometimes 10 % on the last 4 km ( but they are not long. All in all, a beautiful, long climb that's well worth the detour!

De la mer à la montagne ! Vous partez les pieds dans l'eau et vous terminez à plus de 1000 mètres d'altitude ! En partant de villajoyosa il y a un peu de circulation, mais il y a des pistes cyclables larges et accessibles qui permettent de rouler en toutes tranquillité. An sortir de ville vous avez tout le long jusqu'au village Sella une bande sur le bas côté de la route ou l'on peut rouler sans être inquiété par les voitures. Sur les 14 premiers kilomètres la pente est très irrégulière, ce qui nous laisse le temps d'admirer le paysage qui est vraiment superbe. A partir de Sella les choses deviennent plus difficiles avec une pente plus régulière autour de 6 à 7%. A 6 km du sommet vous entrez dans une forêt de pins qui vous permettra de roulez à l'ombre jusqu'au sommet. Attention ⚠️ aux quelques rampes à 9 et parfois 10 % sur les 4 derniers kilomètres ( mais elles ne sont pas longues. En résumé, une belle et longue ascension qui mérite vraiment le détours !

A long but never difficult climb, shaded on the final stretch. The road is in very good condition. Lots of motorbikes and bicycles.

Montée longue mais jamais difficile, ombragée dans la partie finale. La route est en très bon état. Beaucoup de motos et de vélos.

Beautifully beautiful climb that is really recommended partly due to the lack of traffic for the last 15 kilometres. The climb is never really super steep, but due to its length, it is quite tough. You mostly share the road with other cyclists. That road, by the way, is perfect. The last five kilometres are on pitch-black tarmac. On the way there is only something to get in Sella. In the middle of the village there is even a small shop that only sells bars and crazy stuff.

Prachtig mooie klim die mede door de verkeersluwte de laatste 15 kilometer echt een aanrader is. De klim is nooit echt supersteil, maar door zijn lengte toch wel pittig. Je deelt de weg vooral me andere wielrenners. Die weg is overigens perfecte. De laatste vijf kilometer lopen over gitzwart asfalt. Onderweg is er alleen wat te halen in Sella. Midden in het dorpje zit zelfs een klein winkeltje wat alleen repen en geks verkoopt.

Nice long climb that ends at the entrance to the military base 'Aitana'. Too bad it is not allowed to drive further up there, then you end up at more than 1500 metres.

Lekker lange beklimming die eindigt bij de ingang van de militaire basis ‘Aitana’. Jammer dat daar niet verder omhoog mag worden gereden, dan kom je op meer dan 1500 meter uit.

My favourite climb in the region: very long but never too steep.
From Villajoyosa, find the CV770 and head inland. You climb over the motorway to then cycle past a long reservoir ('embalse'). The first part of the climb, up to Orxeta, goes up and down regularly so it is difficult to find the right rhythm. Just before Sella it really starts. it gets a bit steeper, but not to the extent that you get into trouble. But the kilometres and altimeters slowly but surely start to drain your strength reservoir. After about 20 km of climbing, you reach a junction where the left leads to Safaripark Aitana. This is an alternative to reach the summit from the other side. But we keep going straight ahead, where we are presented with about 3 hairpin bends. On the inside of them, the gradients reach double digits. This is the hardest part of the climb! But once it's over, it's a steady trot to the summit!

Mijn favoriete beklimming in de regio: erg lang maar nooit té steil.
Vanuit Villajoyosa zoek je de CV770 en ga je landinwaarts. Je klimt over de autosnelweg om dan langs een lang stuwmeer ('embalse') te fietsen. Het eerste deel van de klim, tot Orxeta, gaat het regelmatig op en af zodat het moeilijk is om het juiste ritme te vinden. Net voor Sella begint het echt. het wordt wat steiler, maar niet dermate dat je in de problemen komt. Maar de kilometers en de hoogtemeters beginnen langzaam maar zeker je krachtenreservoir aan te tasten. Na een kleine 20 km klimmen bereik je een splitsing waar links naar Safaripark Aitana leidt. Dat is een alternatief om de top langs de andere kant te bereiken. Maar wij blijven rechtdoor gaan, waar ons een 3-tal haarspeldbochten wordt voorgeschoteld. Aan de binnenkant ervan halen de stijgingspercentages dubbele cijfers. Dit is het moeilijkste stuk van de beklimming! Maar eens die achter de rug gaat het in gestrekte draf naar de top!

Mijn eerste echte lange beklimming. Vanuit Vilajoyosa tot aan Sella goed te doen. Vanaf Sella begint het echte werk met stukken tot 10%, veelal 8 à 9% en dat 11 km lang. De weg is goed en bijzonder rustig. Overall een goede redelijk gelijkmatige klim. Mooie ervaring om te fietsen, Denk er aan dat je telefoon geen bereik heeft Je bent dus lastig vindbaar voor de thuisblijvers.

Longest climb on the Costa Blanca, you start at the water's edge and the summit rises just above 1000m. There is still some traffic for the first few kilometres, but for a wide, major road there is little passing and the tarmac is in good shape. At first, nice views of a rocky area, closer to the top you drive through pine forests.

Langste klim aan de Costa Blanca, je vertrekt aan het water en de top komt net boven de 1000m uit. De eerste kilometers is er nog wat verkeer, maar voor een brede, grote weg is er weinig passage en het asfalt ligt er goed bij. In het begin mooie uitzichten op een rotsachtig gebied, dichter bij de top rijdt je door dennenbossen.
