At last, an ITT. Way too short but okay. The route is perhaps a bit harder in reality than it looks on the profile.
The climb to Benitatxell is the hardest part of the course and has around 800m @ 7-8% in the middle. The rest is false flat. Though I wouldn't expect too much of what looks like a technical section around La Fustera. The whole route is mostly on pretty big roads.
Weather
Attention to the weather. The wind could be pretty strong (4 beaufort), blowing from the sea. Max temp 30°C.
