Roda la Vall Guide - Bicycle tour

At the Benicadell’s shadow During this fourth stage the cyclist will go from the hardness of the day before to the calm of the quieter roads between fields of cultivation and small villages located in the shadow of the Benicadell, the mountain par excellence of the Vall d’Albaida, symbol of the region and cultural reference of its inhabitants.

The route is not without some detail, especially because of the accumulated, especially in the stretch between Beniatjar and Bèlgida, since there are moments that, due to the steep slope in a few meters, we may have to push the bike. The stage follows the old roads of Montitxelvo and Benicolet in its first part, to reach Aielo de Rugat from where we will enter the area of the Umbría and the Molí. After crossing the towns of Rugat and Ràfol de Salem, the road takes us to Beniatjar, already at the foot of the Benicadell.

Otos and Carrícola have a special setting in addition to having an interesting cultural heritage, as in the case of Otos, the set of sundials made by renowned sculptures or Carrícola, where its environment is full of outdoor sculptures. From there we will reach El Palomar and Bèlgida, on an easy and uneven journey until we reach Albaida.
