Xorret de Cati
Xorret de Catí is one of the most famous cycling climbs in the Valencia region. It instantly become a hit with fans when it first appeared in the 1998 edition of the Vuelta a España - a stage won by the climber Chava Jiménez. This side is undoubtedly the main attraction of the mountain. Its consistently steep gradients - at times well in excess of 20% - test even the strongest of climbers. The climb is set within the picturesque Maigmó Mountains and the area is also notable for the high density of castles - almost every village seems to have its own. This is a legacy of the turbulent history of the region - a land keenly fought over for thousands of years.
