The Irta Trail Loop immerses you in the unspoiled beauty of Sierra de Irta, a coastal natural park in Castellón. This touring cycling route takes you along paths that wind between the deep blue of the Mediterranean and the green of the forests, passing by the Sierra de Irta Trail and Spring and the idyllic La Basseta Beach. It's an experience that combines the serenity of the coast with the adventure of a mountainous interior, perfect for unwinding and enjoying nature. Prepare for varied terrain, including dirt tracks and paved sections, with spectacular views throughout the entire journey. This route allows you to discover the essence of the Valencian coast away from the crowds.
To fully enjoy the Irta Trail Loop, I recommend visiting in spring or autumn, when the weather is most pleasant for cycling. The route is of moderate difficulty, covering a distance of 27.7 kilometers with 393 meters of elevation gain, which will take approximately 2 hours and 32 minutes. Be sure to carry enough water and sun protection, as some sections are exposed. No specific permits are mentioned, but it's always advisable to check trail conditions, especially after rain, as some dirt sections can become more challenging.
What makes the Irta Trail Loop special is its location in one of the last unspoiled coastal areas of the Mediterranean, a true natural treasure and marine reserve. In addition to its impressive landscapes, the route offers you the opportunity to pass close to ancient watchtowers like Torre Badum and Torre Ebrí, which add a historical touch to your adventure. It's an excellent option for touring cyclists looking for a circular route with a mix of nature, history, and panoramic views, far from the hustle and bustle of more urbanized areas.
