Promoter: S.M. Societat Excursionista de València Guaita

Certification status: Conditioned quality control

0 reviews

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.

The third stage of the GR 37 runs along cattle track. You will pass through el Cabezo and the Cabezo spring, wash houses, abandoned villages, country estates, cattle corrals, truffle oak fields and you will reach the town of La Yesa. It is indeed a very varied and attractive route.

Route description (only available in Spanish)

Al salir de Alpuente seguimos un camino con un pronunciado descenso hacia el hondo del barranco (Sur), pasando por la cruz y llegando, tras pasar por la aldea de La Hortichuela (deshabitada y en ruinas). Llegamos al lecho del barranco del Reguero lo cruzamos y buscamos el camino del Cabezo, durante un corto tramo el camino va hacia el Sur y luego se desvía hacia el Este y posteriormente vuelve al norte, comenzamos a subir el tramo más exigente en dirección a la fuente del Cabezo con un agua fresca, después iremos hacia La Yesa, sin tanto desnivel, y pasaremos por la Tejería, la ermita de San Juan y la de San Roque posteriormente por la fuente del Carmen ya a pocos metros del fin de recorrido.
