It is a port without great demands (maximum slope of 10%) that will allow us to enjoy the landscape of pine and holm oak trees and the wide views of the coast that open up at the top. We start in Alcoi, at the Fernando Reig bridge over the Barxell river taking the N-340 in the direction of Xixona. It is a long straight uphill stretch with a service road on the right that we can take for a kilometer (until the intersection with the CV-797, Font Roja road) to avoid traffic as much as possible.
