Trail of Primavera Confrides 2026

Breaking news: Spain 🇪🇸 is full of incredible yet hidden races and you're on a mission to discover them! 🔍

In the heart of the Serrella and Aitana sierras between Alicante and Valencia lies a small village 🏘️ where you can run the Trail of Primavera: Confrides. Join us at the beginning of May 🌸 with your best gear to play the great explorer. You're in luck, the temperatures are very pleasant in the region at this time 😎. Winter is behind you ❄️, and the heatwave hasn't arrived yet! 🥵 You'll arrive in landscapes that might make your GPS doubt, but don't worry, three little treasures will be waiting for you at the finish line 🏁. Their names? "Maraton de la Serella" (MDC) 43K, "Trail de Confrides" (TDC) 24K and "Confrides Trail Aitana" (CTA) 19K. Well, maybe not the names you'd give your children 🧒, but these are the races offered. Here, you're far from tourist crowds: only 300 inhabitants, mountains as far as the eye can see 🌄, and a setting that makes you forget the Mediterranean is barely an hour's drive away 🌊. 

On the course side, there is something for everyone. Do you want a tough challenge? 💪 The "MDC" trail of 43 km and 2,700 mD+ will make you climb the ridges of the Serrella, cross valleys, and enjoy breathtaking views 🤩 (breathe anyway, oxygen is essential for such a trail 😮‍💨). Prefer a shorter but equally spectacular format? The trail of 24 km with 1,400 mD+ will show you the essentials: technical trails with rocky passages and views of the mountains… In short, a total immersion in deep Spain, the real one! ✅ The one of Costa Blanca! 🏳️ And for the more timid, the 20 km and 1,000 mD+ will make your legs burn 😎. You'll cross the typical villages of Abdet, Famorca, or even Quatretondeta. There, most houses are white, and the alleys are shaded to protect from the stifling summer heat 🌡️. If you're lucky, you might even catch a glimpse of the Guadalest reservoir in the distance to the southeast with its electric blue waters. So keep your eyes wide open 👀, it would be a shame to miss it!

And once your shoes are stored, it's time to travel ✈️. Confrides and its surroundings are Spain at its most authentic. Streets where you enjoy strolling with an ice cream in hand 🍦, sunny terraces ☕, generous gastronomy: Valencian rice 🥘, local charcuterie, wines from the region… 🍷 Everything is in place to gently extend the effort; this time, it will be your stomach that will be challenged. And if you want to explore a bit more, Alicante is just an hour away for a mix of beach and city trip 🏖️. You can also head to Guadalest and its perched castle 🏰 or Altea and its seaside houses. Imagine the program: trail in the morning, tapas in the afternoon followed by a nap under an olive tree… 😴 All followed by a Sunday visit to the surroundings.
