Why ride in Calpe?

If Calpe attracts dozens of pro teams and thousands of amateur cyclists every winter, it is because no other European destination offers as much to prepare for a season.

  • An exceptional climate from February to May (15-22°C on average)
  • Roads in perfect condition, quiet outside the tourist season
  • Varied terrain: flat roads along the coast and demanding climbs inland
  • Alto de Bernia, Coll de Rates, Cumbre del Sol: climbs that have become legendary
  • Pro teams training on the same roads, which creates a unique atmosphere
