Itinerary description

A very spectacular trip into and around the Sierra de Crevillent to Balcó del castell vell and back via Pantà de Crevillent.

We start at our campsite Las Palmeres.. after this we ride into the city of Crevillent, what can be pretty busy. After leaving the town we get our first sight at Sierra the Crevillent, from here the roads go up and down.

We ride under the aquaduct to the right into the valley of the Sierra. After reaching the furthest point in the valley we go go up again via a gravelpath towards the highest point of the Sierra. On top the views are spectacular and the roads are wide and easy to access.

After leaving this ridge road we go downhill again to the reservoir, this part is steep and tricky at some point.. after reaching the reservoir the roads are smooth as we head towards the campsite again.
