Montes Costeros
(20,6 km - 1 hora 55 minutos)
Circular route which crosses the border of the municipal area of Torreblanca and goes deep into the neighbouring villages of Cabanes, Benlloch, Vilanova D´Alcolea and Alcalá de Xivert. It is a medium physically demanding route and it requires a low technical level. Two thirds of it run along dirt roads. It offers a varied landscape: along its first section, there are citrus fruit trees and artichoke crops; on the ascent of Mas de Cullera, scrub and pine trees; at the top, fantastic views of the coast and the Columbretes Islands; further ahead, the vineyards and citrus fruit trees return and, right at the end of the route, there are pine trees and new crops.
