There is no proof of quality control on the record of this trail in the last years. For this reason, it is unknown whether it complies with the optimal signage and maintenance conditions for hikers to take the trail following these signs exclusively.
Hikers have to take into consideration that the information about the signage and maintenance of the trails for which the promoter entity is responsible might not be up to date anymore, since it refers to its state on the date of its approval. 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.

Route description (only available in Spanish)

Desde el puerto de Tudons, seguiremos la carretera hacia Alcoleja unos 250 metros, donde la abandonaremos tomando un camino que sale a la derecha dirección NE. El camino ancho y cómodo, asciende progresivamente entre antiguos bancales y antiguas ruinas de masias. Progresivamente el panorama se va abriendo, y tras un ligero ascenso llegamos a la Font de l´Arbre. En este punto cogeremos el ramal del camino que sale hacia la derecha (SE) en fuerte subida. Durante este tramo de camino, podremos observar la abundancia de la vegetación, destacando la repoblación de pinos negrales y el paso por una Microreserva de Flora. A la derecha iremos dejando los impresionantes cortados de la Sierra de Aitana y las antenas de las instalaciones militares. Seguidamente llegamos a la Font Forata y a su pozo de nieve, que suponen un valor patrimonial añadido.Desde este punto seguimos rectos, en descenso, dirección Este, por donde bordearemos una nueva Microreserva de alto valor ecológico. Al poco el camino se convierte en senda, guiándonos en descenso hacia el paso por el runar y caos de bloques de la zona de El Cantalar. Aquí,el panorama se nos abre hacia el valle de Guadalest. De nuevo en descenso el sendero se transforma en camino y llegamos a la Font de Partagat. Proseguiremos, ya por camino asfaltado, descendiendo en sucesivas lazadas entre campos de cultivo, hasta llegar al pintoresco pueblo de Benifato.
