The route

Route 3 of the Centro BTT Alto Palancia, signposted on the ground, climbing through the Alto Palancia area towards the source of the river, among pine woods, dry farmland and masías. It mixes forest tracks and farm tracks with the odd stretch of tarmac between villages. The villages along the way have fountains and bars, but carry plenty of water in summer. The best time is spring and autumn; in July and August the heat is fierce and in winter it can freeze higher up. The signs on the ground come first: check the state of the tracks after heavy rain.

Track based on OpenStreetMap (Centro BTT Alto Palancia, route 3) (ODbL).

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