PR-CV 179 RUTA DE SAN PASCUAL

Promoter: Ayuntamiento de Monforte del Cid

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.

From Orito through the Águilas range to the cave of San Pascual and passing through a monumental juniper tree. With fantastic views of the Mediterranean coast.

Route description (only available in Spanish)

Comenzamos en la plaza de Orito, junto al Convento y el albergue, donde hay una fuente. Rodeamos un caserío y continuamos hasta un cruce en el que debemos girar a la izquierda siguiendo las indicaciones de la Cueva saldremos del pueblo para seguir por extensas parcelas agrícolas de secano.

Tras 1,5 km nos encontramos con la bifurcación con murales cerámicos con motivos religiosos. Volveremos por el camino asfaltado de la izquierda, pero ahora seguimos a nuestra derecha hasta otra bifurcación que seguimos a la izquierda para llegar a la falda de la sierra de las Águilas, en esta zona se termina el asfalto. A continuación, nos encontramos un cruce señalizado donde el sendero coincide con la variante PR-CV 179.1. Una pendiente moderada nos acerca subida hasta la cueva.

Nos adentramos en el interior de la sierra de las Águilas siguiendo una senda y llegamos al mirador y zona de descanso. El trayecto desde el mirador discurre hasta un collado. A unos 50 metros de la ascensión nos encontramos con otra bifurcación donde coincidimos de nuevo con la variante PR-CV 179.1. Un descenso continuado por una amplia vaguada entre crestas y de nuevo una dura subida a una loma situada a los pies del pico de San Pascual, máxima altura de la sierra con vértice geodésico.

Descendemos por un pequeño barranco, donde podremos contemplar un ejemplar de sabina negral. Una vez más encontramos la variante PR-CV 179.1. Continuamos a la derecha unos 200 m y conectamos con una pista, luego asfalto y llegamos al cruce con los mosaicos de cerámica y por el mismo camino de ida volvemos al inicio.
