PR-CV 422 ELS CAMINS DEL DESERT

Promoter: Ayuntamiento de la Pobla de Tornesa

Certification status: Conditioned quality control

1 review

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.

This trail starts in La Pobla Tornesa and goes through the shady area of the Desert de les Palmes ascending to the creu del Bartolo and visiting the beautiful place of the hermitage of les Santes.

Route description (only available in Spanish)

Salimos de la plaza del Portal de La Pobla Tornesa por la calle Coll de la Mola y cruzamos el río de la Pobla por un puente y la autovía CV-10 por un túnel. Continuamos por el camino paralelo a la autovía hasta llegar al camí vell del Desert por el que ascendemos hasta el collado de la Mola pasando por el Burgar y la Teuleria. En el collado cruzamos la pista y continuamos ascendiendo, ahora con mayor pendiente, hasta alcanzar la cima del Cantal Gros. Caminamos ahora por las rocas de la cresta de la sierra pasando por el collado del Ondí y la cima del Caragol de Panxa hasta llegar a la creu del Bartolo.

Continuamos unos pocos metros por la pista que sube a la cima del Bartolo y a la ermita de Sant Miquel que se nos quedan a unos 200 metros. Bajamos por la izquierda por la senda de la ermita hasta llegar al Collet. Desde aquí nos desviamos a la derecha para coger el camino hacia la ermita de Les Santes, bello paraje con fuente y área recreativa. Ascendemos del nuevo al Collet pero esta vez por el camino del otro lado del barranco de Les Santes. Descendemos por el barranco de la Porquereta hacia la Pobla Tornesa cruzando antes de llegar la autovía de nuevo por otro túnel y al poco tenemos un corto desvío de 130 metros para contemplar la monumental carrasca de Pellicer antes de llegar de nuevo al pueblo.
