Description

We parked at the "Parking Fleix Club Sendas y Montañas", a large parking lot a few meters from the start of the route.

From there there are signs indicating the route.

The route is very easy to follow.

We will go up and down a total of 3 times.

The first ascent is the longest, but it is easy to do with the stairs.

The other 2 climbs are shorter but more intense.

We pass through two dry ravines, the Barranco del Infierno and the Barranco de Torts, and through the village of Benimaurell.

You can make a detour to the village viewpoint if your legs are still in good shape! The views at the top of each climb are beautiful.

It is a very famous route, but it is also a demanding one, with a distance of almost 15 kilometers and a gradient of 800 meters.

However, it is highly recommended! We do not recommend doing it in midday as there is very little shade along the way.
