Cycling Hotel Capnegret Alicante Spain, a privileged place for cyclists and teams in winter

With the arrival of winter the days become cold and dark, unfavourable conditions that cyclists and professional athletes must suffer to continue their training. But in Spain there is a privileged area where the average temperature in winter is 18º and more than 97% of the days are sunny and windless: the Costa Blanca in Alicante.

And right here is the Hotel Capnegret, in Altea, near Calpe. This is a very popular cycling accommodation because of its location and facilities and is being chosen by more and more WolrdTour teams as the centre of operations during their concentrations.

The Hotel Capnegret is located in the town of Altea, in Alicante, Spain, a privileged environment by the Mediterranean Sea and protected by the Sierra de Bernia which generates a subtropical microclimate in the area, with warm temperatures and no wind throughout the winter.
