Citrus Cycling

Where And How To Find Us …

We are based on the Costa Blanca,  just outside of the town of Denia, in a village called Benidoleig. This is a fantastic area for cycling and mountain biking with many of the world’s top professional cycling teams basing themselves here for their winter training camps. Triathletes can take advantage of the warm Mediterranean sea for their swim training which is only 9km from the guest house.

The Guest house is within easy access to the motorway network, with direct routes to Alicante and Valencia Airports, both within an hour’s drive. We do offer a limited airport pick up service but please contact us for further information.

Directions from Alicante Airport

On leaving the airport get onto the A-7/Ap-7 motorway heading towards Valencia (it is easy to make a mistake here and go towards Murcia; dont do it!) the Valencia motorway branches off to the right within a few kilometres of the airport.

Stay on the A-7/AP7(E15) for about 50 minutes. Take exit 62 signed to Denia and Ondara. When you come through the toll gate take the second exit which is signed Ondara and Oliva. This does a circle around and joins the N332. Take the third exit signed to Ondara, El Verger, Orba. At the Roundabout take the fourth exit the CV731 to Beniarbeig, Benidoleig. Straight on at the next two roundabout to Benidoleig. When you get to Benidoleig you will come to a roundabout where you turn left then, about 300m outside the village, you will see a right turn to Aldea de Las Cuevas. Follow this road to the very top of the hill(approx 3Km) where the road bears to the left. After 50m take the second right turn and follow the road around to us. 105 Aldea de las Cuevas is on your right hand side. (You made it!). For those with Sat.

The average weather in the Valencian region reaches temperatures of up to 40deg C in the summer months, but hardly ever drops below 7deg C during the winter months. With an average temperature for the months of January to May at 11deg C this makes the area an ideal winter training venue.
