Benidorm-La Vila Joiosa

The Costa Blanca coast here is steep and rocky—running is best along the flat beachfront promenades, though trails climb into the nearby sierras. Cyclists dominate the region: the Mediterranean Bike Challenge based in nearby Polop and the BTT Coves del Canelobre routes exploit the dramatic limestone ridges and coastal switchbacks that rise 400–600m within minutes of leaving the seafront. The Aitana Tour links the interior mountain passes for serious elevation gain across the region's most demanding terrain.
