Hi there,
When we returned to Valencia after 2 months of traveling through Costa Rica and Mexico, I told Diego that I wanted to go trekking every weekend.
Here are the first 4 places we went to since they are relatively accessible options if you live in Valencia:
Cullera mountain
It is a 20-minute drive from Almusafes and is a relatively easy walk. The day we went there was a wind that wouldn’t even let you walk. What I did not like is that you go almost all the time seeing the buildings of Cullera.
Monduver
It is 45 minutes by car from Almusafes. The beautiful thing is that the landscape is becoming greener and greener. Walking the trail, we got lost several times and the path is more complicated; there are parts where you climb up the rocks or holding on to a rope.
The Tello
It is a mountain super close to where we live. I had never been there because what we did was ride our bikes to a part and then come back. Going up by bike to where the mountain route begins takes me an hour.
The first time we went by car, and we left it right at the point where we always arrived with the bicycle. From there we did one of the many paths that exist, and we stayed for 4 hours. I was surprised to have a place so close to Almusafes that allows you to escape from civilization.
The bad thing is that at the beginning there is an animal farm and all that part smells horrible.
Sierra Calderona Natural Park
La Calderona is a large group of mountains that is close to a town called Náquera. Diego took me on a route in 2015 and we went again this year, I expected to return to the same castle, but we did a totally different route. On December 25, 2019, we returned and did the route to get to the Serra Castle thinking that it would be the same as in 2015, but it was not.
The following Sunday we went to a part called Olocau and finally found the Royal Castle.
