PR-CV 421 RUTA BERNARDINA

Promoter: Ayuntamiento de Alzira

Certification status: No quality controls

0 reviews

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.

The Bernardina route is a 15 km long linear route, which connects the towns of Carlet and Alzira and recreates the escape of Saint Bernat from his birthplace in Carlet to Alzira, where he was martyred by his brother along with his two sisters. Tradition has it that Saint Bernat was an Arab prince from Carlet who renounced his royal status to embrace the Christian faith. Faced with his family's refusal to become evangelised, Saint Bernat fled with his sisters Zaida and Zoraida (Maria and Gracia), who he baptised in Guadassuar, where the baptismal font of Saint Bernat is preserved. They arrived in Alzira, where they were martyred on 21 August 1181, with a nail being driven through their heads.
