First Hairpin Turns Descending Barx Pass
Highlight • Mountain Pass
The Barx Pass, from Simat, is a gem for any cycling enthusiast. A climb that perfectly combines effort with the beauty of the surroundings. Each curve offers a new perspective of the Valldigna Valley, while the monastery remains behind as a silent witness to the ascent. Frequently used by local cyclists, it's an ideal stretch to enjoy at a leisurely pace, feeling each pedal stroke amidst nature and heritage.
With several well-defined hairpin bends and a steady but manageable gradient, it's perfect for enjoying the effort without suffering too much.
Pass details: 6.3 km | 301 m elevation gain | average gradient of 4.8% | ramps of up to 9.8%.

Monastery of Santa María de la Valldigna
Highlight • Religious Site
Since April 2022 it has been open to the public and deserves to be visited. Inside the enclosure there are ruins of the various buildings that were part of the old monastery and that today are partly under recovery work.
It is a very quiet and beautiful place a few meters from the town of Simat that also deserves to be included in the tour and has many hiking trails.

Monastery of Santa María de la Valldigna
Highlight • Religious Site
It was the first monastery of such importance built in the ancient Kingdom of Valencia, after the Christian conquest.
Days after the royal donation, James II, brother Bononat and his entourage met at the place of Ràfol (a Christian village in the valley founded after the conquest of James I) to take possession of the territory, plus one mile inland, the castles of Marinyén, Alcalà and the tower of Mondúber.
