Web-Link Appendices
As the Appendices for Walk! the Costa Blanca Mountains are weblinks you will find it easier to access the websites from this page rather than inputting the web addresses from the book.

Appendix A - Useful websites for services and sights in the vicinity of each walk.
There's a wealth of material about Costa Blanca on the web, most of it irritating garbage posted by people trying to flog houses.
The following links may help you navigate your way through some of the less desirable material.

Appendix B Cycling
A lot of work has been done in recent years to promote cycling in the Costa Blanca mountains, including the opening of a dedicated cycling centre in Orxa (Walks 21-22).
The official site for the centre http://en.comunitatvalenciana.com/centre-btt-el-comtat/2 includes links to PDFs detailing nine signposted itineraries. 
Individuals have also posted GPS records for these routes on the Wikiloc file sharing site:
RUTA 1 - L’ESTRET DE L’INFERN  http://es.wikiloc.com/wikiloc/view.do?id=1857172
RUTA 2 - L’ORXA-BENIARRÉS  http://es.wikiloc.com/wikiloc/view.do?id=1477591
RUTA 3 - EL CIRCO DE LA SAFOR  http://fr.wikiloc.com/wikiloc/view.do?id=634180
RUTA 4 - L’ALBURECA  http://es.wikiloc.com/wikiloc/view.do?id=1601106
RUTA 5 - EL BARRANC DE L’ENCANTADA  http://es.wikiloc.com/wikiloc/view.do?id=616313
RUTA 6 - EL BENICADELL  http://pt.wikiloc.com/wikiloc/view.do?id=793755
RUTA 7 - LA VALL D’ALBAIDA Y LA SIERRA DE ADOR  http://fr.wikiloc.com/wikiloc/view.do?id=794453
RUTA 8 - LA SOLANA DEL BENICADELL  http://es.wikiloc.com/wikiloc/view.do?id=793783
RUTA 9 - LA VALL D’ALCALÀ  http://es.wikiloc.com/wikiloc/view.do?id=793807
Bike routes are also available at http://www.bikemap.ne
If these itineraries seem like too much effort, and a lot of them look very strenuous indeed,
somebody has come up with the rather brilliant idea of offering downhill cycle rides, 
details of which can be found at http://www.thedownhillbikeride.com/
