Promoter: Parque Natural de la Sierra de Espadán

Certification status: No quality controls

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 route that takes us from the recreational area in the Villamalur ravine to the village of Torralba del Pinar, crossing pine forests in the heart of the Sierra de Espadán Natural Park.

Route description (only available in Spanish)

Iniciamos el recorrido en el área recreativa de Villamalur por la pista asfaltada del camino del Alto del Pinar, compartiendo recorrido con el PR-CV 276. En la primera curva a derecha nos separamos del sendero GR 333, que se desvía a nuestra izquierda. Continuamos por esta pista ascendiendo, atentos para tomar una senda que acorta a nuestra izquierda. Continuamos por la pista hasta desviarnos por una senda a nuestra izquierda por la que ascenderemos al collado del Alto del Castillejo, donde volvemos a desembocar en la pista.

En este punto nos separamos del PR-CV 276 para seguir por una senda que, en descenso, va paralela a la pista. Cruzamos varios barrancos pequeños continuando por esta senda hasta cruzar el barranco de la Montalbana. Ascendemos de forma más pronunciada para llegar al cruce con los senderos GR 333 y SL-CV 103, con los que compartiremos recorrido hasta el final.

Seguimos ascendiendo hasta alcanzar el collado del Alto de San Cristóbal. Desembocamos en la pista de Villamalur. Seguimos la pista a nuestra derecha para posteriormente desviarnos, para descender por una senda a nuestra izquierda que nos conduce por la Hoya. Antes de llegar al final de esta senda ya vemos el pueblo de Torralbal del Pinar.
