Lavelo Cycling Apartments

Lavelo Cycling Apartments is a base for road cycling groups inside the Costa Blanca mountains, where nearly every UCI team trains in winter. Four private apartments in one building, two riders each (up to 8 riders), with villas next door for groups of up to 15. For groups of 6 to 15 riders, minimum 4 nights. Location: Fageca, Alicante, Spain, at 750 m, about 1 h 30 by car from Alicante and Valencia airports.

Why stay in the mountains rather than on the coast

Every route starts at the door, without the 20–40 km of flat road from the coast to reach the climbs.

Every route finishes uphill, climbing back to the apartments.

You ride the climbs against the flow of the coastal groups, with the road to yourselves.

LaVolta LaVelo: a grand tour at amateur scale

One week, Sunday to Sunday, with six stages (about 500 km and 10,000 m of climbing) through the Costa Blanca mountains, all starting and finishing at Lavelo Cycling Apartments.
