PR-CV 213 OMBRIA DEL BENICADELL

Promoter: Ayuntamiento de Beniatjar y de Ráfol de Salem

Certification status: Conditioned quality control

2 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 Benicadell mountain range is the natural border between the provinces of Valencia and Alicante with the protected areas of the shady and sunny slopes that conserve a large part of the rich vegetation and where you can observe a great diversity of flora and, if you get lucky, native fauna.

Route description (only available in Spanish)

Desde la casa forestal de les Planisses, por una ancha pista, salimos dirección Sur – Este. Sin dejar la pista encontramos el enlace con la variante del PR-CV 213.3, que asciende a la cumbre del Benicadell. Nosotros seguimos por pista hasta encontrar otra indicación a la derecha. Aquí empieza una senda de montaña con unas estupendas vistas al valle donde observamos al fondo las montañas de la vall de la Murta, en Alzira, enfrente el embalse de Bellús, y la serra Grossa más al fondo. Por senda llegamos al paraje de les Fontetes, encontramos masas, bancos y una fuente para refrescarnos. En este punto encontramos el PR-CV 213. 2. Continuamos ahora en suave descenso, encontramos la variante PR-CV 213.1 que nos indica la bajada hacia Beniatjar. Nosotros continuamos la ruta y por una pista de montaña que luego se convierte de nuevo en senda, atravesamos un bosque de pinus halepensis y pinus nigra, algún algarrobo y carrasca. Encontramos la variante PR-CV 213.4 para ir a Ràfol de Salem. Llegamos a un camino de herradura que ya en ascenso desemboca otro vez en la pista que nos lleva a la casa forestal de les Planisses.
