SL-CV 117 CAMÍ VELL DE BOCAIRENT

Promoter: Grup de Muntanya Beneixama

Certification status: Conditioned quality control

0 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.

You can walk along the old road, which used to connect the towns of Beneixama and Bocairent before the construction of the CV-81 in 1900. It passes through the Venta de Soler, just where it crosses Camino de Xàtiva, which was the most important road in the valley of Biar and Beneixama.

Route description (only available in Spanish)

Desde la pedanía del Salze, al lado de la ermita de San Vicente Ferrer, el sendero se acerca al camino viejo atravesando la vía verde del antiguo tren Chicharra (VAY Villena-Yecla-Alcoy) y que empieza al pasar por la casa de Carrasca, a la derecha, ya siempre en dirección este.

El camino discurre al lado de sembrados hasta encontrar una gran casa denomina venta Vella o venta de Soler, cruce de los dos grandes itinerarios del valle de Biar y Beneixama: el camino de Xàtiva (PR-CV 383) y el camino de Bocairent.

Pasada la venta de nuevo nos sumergimos entre sembrados. El camino discurre hundido, entre muros de piedra en seco. A nuestra izquierda (norte) encontramos una gran central eléctrica y más cerca, la caseta del Senyoret.

Poco después, pasamos al término de Banyeres de Mariola cruzando el camino de la Vereda. Al fondo ya vemos cerca Banyeres. Encontramos ahora una pinada y el camino baja a la rambla de Banyeres.

Después de dejar a la derecha un cruce que era el camino viejo de Banyeres de Mariola, nos adentramos en zona de marjal, puesto que el sendero discurre cerca del río Marjal, afluente del Vinalopó que se encuentra cerca de nosotros. Nos vamos acercando a la CV-81 que cruzamos para llegar a una redonda que coincide con el azagador de los Calatayud que viene por nuestra izquierda (sur).
