Parcent Café & Bike Station Gearing Up for Busiest Time of the Year

Blanca Bikes is preparing for its busiest season yet as cycling holiday enquiries surge across the Costa Blanca. At the heart of the action is the Blanca Bikes Café & Bike Station in Parcent, which is now fully operational and ready to welcome a record number of riders throughout the autumn, winter, and spring cycling season.

Over the past year, cycling holiday enquiries at Blanca Bikes have risen by over 100%, with bookings coming in from across the UK and Europe. As more riders seek out the Costa Blanca for its mild climate, scenic climbs and pro-level roads, Parcent has become a central hub for visiting cyclists.

“We’ve seen an incredible increase in interest, especially from clubs and groups looking to base themselves near Coll de Rates,” said the Blanca Bikes team. “Parcent has always been popular, but this year it’s on another level. The café and workshop are ready, the bikes are prepped, and we’re expecting our biggest season yet.”

Located at the foot of the Coll de Rates, Parcent is a key location on the Blanca Bikes map. The on-site café is open daily, offering a cyclist-friendly menu of coffee, cakes, and recovery food, while the bike station next door supports a full fleet of Cervélo road and electric bikes available for hire.

The bike station also serves as a drop-off and collection point for riders hiring bikes throughout the Jalon Valley, and offers workshop support, guided ride meet-ups, and route advice for those exploring the region.

Blanca Bikes has expanded its support services for the season, with extra staff on hand for bike fitting, delivery logistics, and café service. Pre-booking remains essential for anyone looking to secure accommodation, bike hire, or guided support during peak periods.

As more riders discover the charm of inland Costa Blanca villages like Parcent, the café and bike station are becoming an essential stop on any serious cycling itinerary.

To book your cycling holiday or arrange bike hire with collection from Parcent, get in touch with Blanca Bikes today.

We just rent two bikes there for two days. They were to be honest not the cheapest, but made the most professional impression. But 1st, the bikes are really not comparable to the ones from competitors as they're much better. And 2nd they delivered with service. From the first contact which was very responsive and nice, over issues that we faced during the rental (flat tire, can happen) they handed us a self repair kit upfront and were always there and assisted us. As they have multiple shops nearby, you could also step in there if you face issues during your ride. Totally recommend them.

Used for bike hire. Excellent pre hire service to help me book correct size bike. Perfect on both pickup and drop off. Also stopped in Calpe shop for spares which was great.

Fantastic 3 night stay with my son at the Blanca Bikes accomodation in Javea. Comfortable room, great breakfast to fuel up for start of day. Well maintained bikes ready when we arrived along with route suggestions from Luke. Could not have been easier arranging transfers from Alicante, accomodation and bikes for the short getaway - one stop shop - thanks to Heidi and team. We will be back!

There's only so long you can ride the same old wrecked roads in the same grim winter weather, so Blanca Bikes offered a chance to escape Glasgow. Run by a former Scottish racer and staffed with people who know what bike riders are looking for, it's a great set-up in the old part of Javea, close to great food spots. From quality Cervelo bike hire to a big breakfast, an airy room and route advice or guiding, you're not left wanting for anything. I was left wondering why it's taken me so long to get to the Costa Blanca and see how incredibly slow I am compared to Tadej Pogacar on the coll de Rates. Can't be beaten – Blanca bikes, not Pogacar...

Rented three Cervélo road bikes from Blanca Bikes for a cycling trip to Calpe and couldn’t have been happier with the experience. All the bikes were in excellent condition — clearly well maintained and ready to ride straight away. The staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful throughout. Special shout‑out to Richard, who sorted me out with a couple of cleat bolts and made a few tweaks to my bike setup that made a real difference. We also visited their café in Parcent, which is absolutely worth the stop if you’re heading over to the Col de Rates. Great coffee, tasty sandwiches, and loads of outdoor space to relax in before or after the climb. Highly recommended for both bike hire and a great café stop.
