When a Ride Goes Wrong: Medical Care & Recovery on the Costa Blanca

Cycling on the Costa Blanca is usually about sunshine, quiet roads, mountain views and great rides. But accidents can happen anywhere, and it is useful to know what to expect if something goes wrong.

If you are injured while cycling in the area, medical care is available at Hospital de Dénia, where injuries can be assessed and treated and, when necessary, followed by specialist care. Recovery does not necessarily end when you leave the hospital. The area also has physiotherapy and rehabilitation specialists who can help with the next stage — from restoring movement and strength to getting you comfortably back to everyday life and, eventually, back on the bike.

Hopefully, this is information you will never need during your stay. But for cyclists travelling away from home, knowing that both medical treatment and professional rehabilitation are available nearby can provide some extra peace of mind.
