PR-CV 61 SIERRA DE SANTA POLA

Promoter: Ayuntamiento de Santa Pola

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.

Route description (only available in Spanish)

La ruta tiene su inicio en el panel informativo donde tomamos el camino viejo del Faro (rumbo NNE), hasta llegar al vértice geodésico ubicado encima de un búnker, pues la zona tiene abundante arquitectura militar de 1936-39; baterías antiaéreas, polvorines y pabellones del ejército republicano. Desde este punto giramos a la izquierda (rumbo N) e, inmediatamente cruzamos el vial asfaltado que da servicio al Faro. Dejaremos a la derecha las urbanizaciones del Gran Alacant siguiendo un sendero (rumbo O-NO) que nos dirige entre pinos de repoblación a la pista de la partida de Balsares para alcanzar la cabecera del barranco del Salt donde tomaremos la vertiente izquierda, bordeándolo por su parte superior. Llegamos al aljibe del Salt y giramos a la izquierda, adentrándonos en el Plà de Ramassos para llegar de nuevo a la carretera del Faro (rumbo E-SE) (asfalto 735 metros 6% de la longitud total) que seguimos hasta las ruinas de la Casa de la Pinada, donde volvemos a girar a la derecha (rumbo S) tomando el camino que nos llevará a la cercanía del Paraje Meleja, bordearemos la urbanización por una pinada que nos llevará hasta el punto de inicio.
