Torremanzanas is a village in the mountains surrounding Alicante. It is a
pleasant little place, but getting there on bicycle is what makes it special.
Although the altitude is modest at 850 m above sea level, the 14 km climb from
the town of Relleu is one of the most brutal around here, with stretches of
16-17% slope. Negotiating that road in the summer heat, even in the morning, is
what separates the men from the boys. This past weekend I went there for the
first time. The road sure is pretty:

And the town has a unique way of providing shade on its main street:
