Certification status: No quality controls

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.

The castle trail is a linear itinerary that runs along the traditional access road to Palma castle. It is a mountainous area which is terraced for traditional dry farming and covered by lush mountain vegetation.

Route description (only available in Spanish)

Cruzamos el puente del barranco de la Vinuesa y continuamos por el camino de Canelles. Enseguida nos sale un camino hormigonado a mano derecha hacia arriba donde dejamos el SL-CV 88 que continúa recto. A poco más de 50 metros, una senda sube y se adentra en el pinar hasta el mirador del Monasterio con vistas al convento de Sant Jeroni de Cotalba, el pla de la Marxrquera y el macizo del Montdúver. Continuamos la subida y, al poco, desviarnos unos metros para visitar la fuente del Pintat. Volvemos a la senda principal ahora ya hasta el castillo de Palma.
