Pedaling Through Paradise: An Electric Bicycle Adventure in Benitachell
Eager to blend education with adventure, I embarked on an electric bicycle journey from Cala Granadella to Cala Moraig. This experience promised a unique exploration of Benitachell’s stunning landscapes and rich history.
A Journey Through the Skies and Shores
Our family has always been drawn to the allure of the Mediterranean, with its rich history and stunning landscapes. This time, our travels took us to the charming town of Benitachell, where we embarked on an exhilarating electric bicycle route from Cala Granadella to Cala Moraig. As a museum curator, I often seek experiences that blend education with entertainment, and this adventure promised just that.
The journey began at the base of Puig de la Llorença, a mountain that has witnessed the grandeur of the cycling tour of Spain. Our guide, a local expert, equipped us with state-of-the-art electric bicycles and all the necessary gear. The ascent was a breeze, thanks to the powerful assistance of the bikes, allowing us to focus on the breathtaking views of the Marina Alta and even catch a glimpse of Ibiza in the distance. The kids were thrilled, snapping photos and asking questions about the geography and history of the region.
Discovering Hidden Gems
As we continued our ride, the path led us to the Mirador de Llevant, a viewpoint that offered a panoramic vista of the Granadella forest park. Here, we paused to admire the Llop Mari Cave, the Discoverer’s Island, and the San Antonio Lighthouse. Each stop was a lesson in natural beauty and historical significance, sparking curiosity and conversation among our family.
The off-road segment of the journey was a particular highlight. The thrill of mountain biking through rugged terrain was a new experience for us, and it added an element of adventure that kept everyone engaged. The kids, usually more interested in screens than scenery, were captivated by the challenge and the sense of exploration.
A Refreshing Finale
Our descent brought us to the serene shores of Cala Granadella, a beach renowned for its crystal-clear waters and tranquil ambiance. Here, we took a well-deserved break, indulging in a refreshing swim and a picnic by the sea. The children built sandcastles while my wife and I soaked in the sun, reflecting on the day’s journey.
The return trip was equally delightful, with the electric bikes making the uphill sections effortless. As we rode back to our starting point, I couldn’t help but feel grateful for the opportunity to experience such a diverse and enriching adventure. This electric bicycle route was more than just a ride; it was a journey through nature, history, and family bonding.
For those seeking a unique way to explore the stunning landscapes of Benitachell, I wholeheartedly recommend the Electric Bicycle Route experience. It’s a perfect blend of active leisure, natural beauty, and cultural discovery, making it an unforgettable addition to any family holiday.
