Tips from the Community
IF… you are going here, I recommend having something like 50/34 11-34 and disc brakes, there are steep angles up and down. The gravel part is short and on 28 mm road tyres is manageable. And one more, ride only from Lorcha towards Villalonga, otherwise you’ll hate your life.

Numerous small fishing and pleasure boats are anchored in the Barranco de Sant Nicolau. The seawater extends far into the urban area of Gandia, shaping the landscape. The bridge offers a particularly beautiful view of the boats and the houses situated directly on the water.

Here the smaller fishing and sports boats are moored in the Barranco de Sant Nicolau. The sea water reaches far into the urban area of Gandia. From the bridge you have a beautiful view of the boats and the houses on the water.

This is not really the end of the road. From here you can continue the road to L’Orxa, where you have to drive about 50m over gravel (no problem with a road bike) to then continue on tarmac. The road is VERY steep, a bit less so if you come from L’Orxa. But it is beautiful and there is a nice mirador up in the hills looking out over the river. With a 34 front and a 30 cog on the cassette it is doable but tough.

On the outskirts of Vilallonga there is this ford to cross the river, in an area surrounded by tall trees.
