That this mountain is still a favorite is easy to explain. The Coll de Rates can be driven from two sides. This makes it easy to reach from just about all holiday destinations on the Costa Blanca. For that reason, this climb is included in a number of routes on our Strava account. You´ll find them – as well as other influenced climbs – on Strava.com and search for Allure Bike Rental.
