El Campello / Alicante – GPX Route 5

Ride Overview

The “Lee Van Cleef Voices Loop” might have a cinematic name, but it’s all about real climbing and rugged beauty. This shorter but punchy loop is perfect for riders seeking a steep challenge close to the coast. Heading inland toward Peña Migjorn, this ride is defined by its sharp ascent, winding backroads, and high-effort, high-reward segments.

It’s an ideal ride for time-crunched cyclists or those looking to test their climbing legs without committing to a full-day tour.

What to Expect

After leaving El Campello, the ride winds through Mutxamel and into rural backroads before tackling a tough and sustained climb that peaks around the 30 km mark. The elevation profile is steep, and gradients are serious—this is where your compact gearing earns its stripes.

 

After cresting the climb near Peña Migjorn, the route returns via Busot with a series of rolling descents and short kickers to keep the legs honest.
