Promoter: Mancomunitat Comarcal Els Ports

Certification status: Conditioned quality control

1 review

Following the inspection carried out by trail technicians, this trail has been declared of "limited adequacy" as a result of the faults detected in the signage. These include inadequate horizontal signs (paint markers) and/or vertical ones (trailheads and information boards) or lacking direction markers that do not provide sufficient information to properly follow the route. The builder of this trail has been informed of the situation.
For safety reasons and during maintenance work, it is advised to be extremely careful while taking this route. Furthermore, mountain sports entail risks associated with the activity itself and the environment where they take place, for which any person is fully liable. For this reason, hikes need to be planned properly and adequate training, equipment and sensible use of the trails are required.

A stage that follows ancient drovers' roads and traditional livestock areas, highlighting features such as the Peiró de Sant Pere and the Hivern Pond, and where abundant examples of dry-stone heritage can be found. The final section crosses the Rambla de Sellumbres Municipal Natural Park, an area of high ecological and scenic value.

Route description (only available in Spanish)

Desde el centro de salud y junto al PR-CV 309 salimos de Vilafranca por el camino de Sant Pere que transcurre entre paredes y casetas de piedra en seco atravesando la zona conocida como les Deveses. Llegamos al cruce con el azagador de les Fonts del Llosar. Nosotros seguiremos rectos pasando cerca de la balsa d'Hivern y de diferentes masías antes de llegar al peiró de Sant Pere. Donde nos cruzaremos con el PR-CV 402 y dejamos el PR-CV 309.

Continuamos recto y más adelante pasamos entre las masías de la Llesca y de la Curra. La etapa transita por la sierra Simona hasta la partida de Les Llometes donde comienza la variante del GR 331.2. Cogemos el camino de la izquierda para descender a la rambla de Sellumbres y, antes de llegar, tomaremos una senda para cruzarla por el puente de la Rambla y salir a la pista conocida como la cuesta del Pont y llegar a la cruz de les Artigues donde se une el PR-CV 408.

Seguimos por un camino para cruzar el barranco de la Cova Antolà. Más adelante, cruzamos la carretera y en menos de un kilómetro el barranco de la Font d'Ineso para entrar a Portell de Morella.
