In this historic place, in 1237, King James I donated the image of the Virgin of Health to the town of Alcublas, which he carried with him on his horse.

The road is in perfect condition, 8 meters wide, with vertical signs. Light traffic, although on weekends it is heavily used by bikers until Alcublas. From this point on, traffic is light, and after Sacañet, it is practically nonexistent. There may be snow restrictions in winter from Sacañet onwards. From Sacañet onwards, the last 4.2 km are the toughest, with a gradient of 250 meters at an average of 6%, and with sections that reach 12%. The most interesting aspect is being able to link the three mountain passes starting from Lliria (Port d'Alcublas, Alto de la Cruz del Collado, and finally Puerto de La Bellida) for a total of almost 30 km and 1,400 m+. You can also climb up a dirt track (quite broken, difficult with a skinny one, even if it's gravel) to Col de La Bellida and the geodetic vertex, along the path that branches off to the left after passing the mountain pass (another 2 km at 3% but with ramps that go up to 15%).

Leaving from Lliria and linking the Port d'Alcublas and the Alto de la Cruz del Collado you end up with a great climb of almost 30km and 1,250m+ that is worth the effort.
