The route

One of the long routes of Centro BTT El Valle, in the Valle de Ayora-Cofrentes. It leaves the valley to head into the hills on forest tracks through pine woods and Mediterranean scrub, with open views over the fields and villages below. It has long climbs on tracks and descents with loose stone, so it's best done on a full-suspension or hardtail mountain bike with some experience. Up in the hills there are no reliable springs or services: take water and food before you set off. Avoid the middle of the day in summer and check whether there are hunts on weekends during the season. Waymarked with the bike centre's signposts.

Track based on OpenStreetMap (Centro BTT El Valle, Turisme Comunitat Valenciana) (ODbL).

Before you set off, check the state of the road or track and follow the traffic rules. Enjoy the ride.
