Around 80 kilometres south of the city of Valencia and lying on the provincial boder, Puerto de la Llacuna takes us abruptly from the coastal flats of la Safor to the mountainous roads and climbs of inland Alicante so familiar to cyclists from all over the world.

Popular among local cyclists and set to feature as the first of the six scheduled climbs of Stage 7, the first real test of the 2021 Vuelta a España, this 10 km 1st Cat. climb has an overall average gradient of 6%, with kilometres at 10% and maximum ramps of up to 17%.

Puerto de Eslida, Castellón, Spain

Lined with cork trees and replete with endless curves, Port d'Eslida is a very popular climb with Valencian cyclists that offers spectacular views over the surrounding countryside.

Located in the south of the province of Castellón and some 60 km to the north of the city of Valencia, the 6 km climb of Port d'Eslida is a relatively easy climb that acts as a gateway to the beautiful Serra d'Espadà Natural Park, with its medieval heritage, sandstone mountains and dense cork forests.

Cycling in Spain, Vall de Ebo, Alicante

Located in the northernmost extreme of the province of Alicante and overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, Vall de Ebo (Vall d'Ebo in Valencian) is one of the Region's most popular climbs among amateur and professional cyclists alike.

Indeed, due to its proximity to coastal resorts such as Denia, Calpe and Altea, so popular in the off-season among the world's leading pro cycling teams, it's not uncommon to come across many of the international peloton's most famous faces both climbing and descending its slopes, team cars dutifully bringing up the rear. And it's not hard to understand the climb's attraction for cyclists of all levels: with its 7.5 km length, multitude of hairpins and gradients between 5% and 13%, on a ranking of 1 to 10 it can comfortably be classified as a doozy.

Puerto de Barx, Simat de la Valldigna, La Safor, Valencia, Spain

El Puerto de Barx is a popular climb among Valencian cyclists, due to its proximity both to the La Safor coast and to the mountains of the Sierra Grossa range. At around 5 kilometres in length, it's not a long climb, and it's not too hard, either, enabling cyclists to take in the magnificent views towards the coast as they tackle its numerous hairpins.
