Promoter: Ayuntamiento de Villafranca del Cid

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)

Salimos de Vilafranca desde la Plaza de la Iglesia.
Bajamos por el lateral del edificio del antiguo del Ayuntamiento (actual Oficina de Información Turística y Ecomuseo).
Llegamos a la Plaza de Bajo, continuamos con fuerte pendiente hasta llegar a la Calle Benassal. Al finalizarlo, nosotros continuamos a la izquierda. A la derecha se dirige el SL CV 18.3.
Continuamos por la pista hormigonada. Las casas del pueblo se quedan ya muy elevadas a la izquierda mientras que a la derecha circulamos paralelos al Barranc de la Teuleria.
Alejándonos del casco urbano, vemos al fondo una Chopera. Nos dirigimos hacia ella.
Aprovechando la sombra que los árboles ofrecen, hay instalada una pequeña zona de esparcimiento con una fuente (font del Xop) con banco y tablas de piedra.
Pocos metros antes de llegar, la señalización vertical nos indica que nos cruzamos con el PR-CV 1 que desde Vilafranca nos dirige hacia Culla para empalmar con el GR 7. En este punto toman dirección hacia la derecha por pista / sendero que transcurreix por el Barranc de les Coves.
Siguiendo el propio curso del barranco, pasando por ante algunos chopos, llegamos a la zona de Les Coves del Forcall la cual cierra el barranco.
