The route

Signposted MTB loop through the Sierra de Pina, in the upper Alto Palancia, on the border between Castellón and Teruel. It runs almost entirely on forest tracks and farm roads between pine woods, junipers and cereal fields, with the odd rougher stretch of loose stone. It's high terrain: in summer the cool air is welcome and in winter there may be ice or snow on the shaded slopes, so check the weather before you set off. There are few water points on the route: leave the village with full bottles and take something to eat. Spring and autumn are the best seasons. You'll want a mountain bike with good brakes and some experience on track descents.

Track based on OpenStreetMap (signposted MTB route R1 of the Alto Palancia, published by Turisme Comunitat Valenciana) (ODbL).

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