The only crossing over the river. Suitable spot for a picnic. It's not far to Villalonga from here.

Everything close to the train station. The castle, which is worth seeing, towers above.

There are several tunnels on the route. 2 to 3 longer ones: you absolutely need light. Otherwise, it's pitch dark.

A beautiful hike through the Hell's Gorge. The actual route along the railway line, and probably the most interesting section between L'Orcha and Mare de Deu (Barranco del Infierno = Hell's Gorge), is unpaved and unpaved, in some parts very gravelly and rough. Five metal bridges are missing, two stone bridges remain, and six tunnels are traversed, all without lighting.

Forna is a small, very quiet village in the municipality of L’Atzúbia, in the hinterland of the Costa Blanca. It lies nestled in a hilly, Mediterranean landscape characterized by orange groves and unspoiled valleys. With fewer than one hundred inhabitants, the village has an almost familial atmosphere and has retained its traditional, rural character: narrow streets, whitewashed houses, and flowers adorning doorways. Above the village rises the impressive Castillo de Forna, a fortified palace dating from the late Middle Ages. Its towers and walls define the village's appearance and are a reminder of the region's Moorish past. Later, the castle served as a lord's residence and remains a central landmark of Forna. The village's history stretches far back, as the area was already settled during the Islamic period. Even after the resettlement of new inhabitants in the 17th century, Forna remained a small, agricultural village that has preserved its historical structure. Visitors to Forna will experience a tranquil and charming place. The tranquility, the surrounding nature and the immediate proximity to the mountains make it an ideal destination for anyone seeking an authentic atmosphere and historical architecture away from mass tourism.

On Grabel, it's advisable to keep your tire pressures correct. I recommend over-inflating rather than underinflating. There are some cobblestone areas.

Tucked away in the mountains of the Marina Alta, Vall de Gallinera is one of the Costa Blanca’s most scenic and peaceful cycling routes. The name literally means “Valley of the Chickens” — 🐓🐔 — a nod to the valley’s Moorish past, when this fertile land was known for its farms and poultry. These days, the valley is all about cherries. In spring, the hills burst into bloom with white cherry blossoms — an incredible sight on two wheels. By May and June, the trees are full of ripe, sweet cherries, and local farmers sell them fresh from roadside stalls. 🍒 The route winds through eight tiny villages, like Benissili, Alpatró, and Benirrama, connected by quiet mountain roads with gentle gradients, flowing curves, and spectacular views.

Take into account that the roads are sometimes under water, 5cm, 10cm to unexpected depths of 50cm. Also pay attention to the part with the cows and horses, more strade stronti than strade bianchi
