Tàrbena is a picturesque cycling climb in the mountains of the Alicante province. It is a short and fairly gentle climb and is great when included as part of a longer route in the area. This area is a very popular training ground for professional cyclists, particularly in the winter, and is also a great area for cyclo-tourists.
Aside from many great climbs and rolling routes, there are numerous attractive villages to explore in this inland part of the Costa Blanca region.
