2026 IN REVIEW
More than 400 km of tracks, back roads and remote areas of Valencia, Cuenca and Teruel, by gravel bike or MTB.
THE ROUTE
The route starts and finishes in the capital of the Túria, looking for very quiet back roads and, above all, gravel tracks. Much of the route is real gravel, with fast sections and rougher ones. There are also off-road sections and some hike and bike.
In 2026 the route climbed Pico de Javalambre, at 2,000 metres. The route crosses very remote areas, where your stop strategy and energy management are key.

Requena
CP3
Ademuz
CP4
Higueruelas
ALBUFERA NATURAL PARK
One of the first sections and one of the most special. A protected area south of València, with many kilometres of unpaved tracks between rice fields, canals and small country lanes.
A gentle start to find your legs before heading inland.
SIERRA MARTÉS
The route heads to CP1 in Yátova and approaches the Forata reservoir, a quiet stretch of water and cliffs.
From Forata begins the climb to the Sierra Martés, a long, demanding ascent through pine forests, Mediterranean scrub and open slopes.
UTIEL-REQUENA VINEYARDS
The route opens up into a wide area where vineyards shape the landscape for many kilometres, with long straights and easier climbing.
CP2 was in Requena, a perfect place to refill water and eat something before heading back into the mountains.
SIERRA DE JAVALAMBRE
Ademuz was CP3, surrounded by mountains and closed valleys. This is where the mountain block really begins.
The route climbs to almost 2,000 metres, where the pine forest gives way to creeping pine and wind-exposed slopes. A hard, lonely and very special section.
LOS SERRANOS
The last big mountain block, high, dry and open terrain where hard climbs come one after another. The last CP was in Higueruelas.
After that, the route gradually eases and València starts to feel close.
