Beautiful route that we can enjoy from the town of Alcoy / Alcoi. A very rewarding route from the landscape point of view, and that does not require a high physical or technical level. Although the lighting of the tunnels is in good condition, we recommend bringing both front and rear lights on the bicycle for safety reasons (Not only because you can see in the tunnels in the event of failure of the lighting. Also because of being seen by other cyclists and pedestrians). We start the route in the Batoi neighborhood. Exactly at the intersection between Els Canalóns and Mondúber streets. Next we will see a small rest area that announces the start of the route and has water, bicycle parking, tables, information maps and WC (the latter only open on Sunday market). Practically as soon as we start the route, we enjoy beautiful views to our right of Els Canalons and Salt, from the bridge that receives the same name: "Pont del Salt" or also known as Barxell Viaduct. El chorro del Salt is a well known waterfall in the Barxell River in Alcoy / Alcoi due to its proximity to the population and the spectacular nature it possesses. Unfortunately, most of the year is inactive due to lack of flow in the river and only with the abundant rains of spring or autumn, regrowth. However, the place is very attractive both from the geological and architectural point of view. In El Salt, several industrial buildings stand out, currently without activity, together with other residential buildings, which make up a unique landscape. The waters of the Barxell River, channeled through galleries and ditches, favored the establishment of flour mills and, above all, paper mills - dedicated to the manufacture of smoking paper - whose origin dates back to the second half of the 18th century. Only 1Km., Having started the route we enter the first tunnel (600m), at the exit of which we find the huge and beautiful viaduct of the "Pont de les Set Llunes" or "Bridge of the Seven Moons" . This bridge was built for the Alcoy / Alcoi - Alicante / Alacant train to pass through here, which never circulated. This spectacular viaduct over the Polop River (260m long and 46m high), which offers stunning views over Alcoy / Alcoi, the Font Roja Natural Park and the Sierra de Mariola Natural Park, receives its name from the number of arches that make up the structure, and traditionally in the area the semicircular arches are called moons. This explains the name of the bridge. At the height of km 3.7 there is another rest area and the Mas de la Font de l'Olivereta viewpoint. Magnificent opportunity to contemplate panoramic views and rural architecture. The road continues alternating small tunnels - not all with lighting - and areas with thick vegetation, until it leaves (at km 4.8) at the height of the municipal sports center. If we want to access it and enjoy a little rest, we must deviate from the path of the track a few meters to later climb the ramp and recover the road. From here, the Greenway passes through the Sierra de Sant Antoni and the Barranc de la Batalla, places of great beauty that unfortunately are barely visible in this section, since it runs through the three longest tunnels of the route ( 324, 917 and 1013 meters respectively). Between the second and the third tunnel, the small great bridge known as the Sant Antoni Viaduct awaits us. It was built to save the ravine of the same name that converges downstream with the Molinar River, tributary of the Serpis. Once we have crossed the third and longest tunnel, we arrive at the “L´Estepar” site, which gives its name to the rest area where we make a small stop and finish our route, to start the turn on our steps. We do not continue to be from this point the route in worse conditions, and the route is set to go as a family or for those cyclists who are starting in this beautiful sport. However, for those who want to extend the route a little longer, it continues to pass very close to the Sarga, a hamlet of Jijona / Xixona, near which there are some cave paintings declared by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. There we will find beautiful views, and the final plate. Even so, we can continue the route along a beautiful and not particularly complicated path that runs substantially parallel to the CV-800 and that will take us to the summit of La Carrasqueta with nothing more and nothing less than 1,020m., High, from where We can see spectacular views of the Mediterranean Sea. But to make this last section should be informed as there are many forest tracks and paths in the area that can lead us to error, and would be the object of another route.

The Segura river in the Sierra de Segura 5 kilometers from Pontón Bajo, in a small village called Fuente Segura, in the municipality of Santiago-Pontones (Jaén). It runs through the provinces of Jaén, Albacete, Murcia and Alicante. It flows into the Mediterranean, in Guardamar del Segura (Alicante), after a journey of 325 km. It is one of the rivers with the greatest hydrological use in Spain and the route found here. The route at the height of Bigastro. We chose as a starting point the roundabout prior to access to the N-332 road, just at the end of Madrid street and about 200 m., From the Local Police station. We chose this point because it is easily accessible, and I will be right at the beginning of the route. As soon as we cross the bridge over the river we take the path of the green corridor of the Segura river towards the west. We start on the south bank of the river, but guarantee passes to the north bank. The criterion will be to trace the code on the north side and go down the south margin. The change of margin always offers us perspectives of the river, as well as the surrounding garden and its municipalities. Thus we arrive at Rojales, where the route is cut and we must cross its urban core without major problem that we never lose in the sight of the river. Since at this point we only carry 6 km, we will continue on the road without stopping. In just 2.5 km., More arrived in Formentera del Segura, where it is very well maintained with a concrete pavement and pampered gardening. In addition, we can enjoy the water wheel of the seventeenth century, located in the municipality of Benijófar (On the other side of the path that we carry at this time). It is located in a middle in the urban core, forming part of the hydraulic assembly which also includes the Flour Mill of Formentera del Segura and Azud. Built with masonry walls in the middle of the s. XVII (1659) is classified as a symbol of the city and the town of Benijófar. Our next milestone is between Almoradí and Algorfa, where the route forces us to make a roundabout with traffic when crossing the CV-935. Without major problem, we continue west until we reach Benejúzar, without leaving the route since the urban center is on the other side of the river. On kilometer twenty-five and a half we can see the wooden bridge over the Segura River as it passes through Jacarilla, through which we can travel on the way back. Just halfway, at the height of Bigastro, we change the river's margin to return to the south side. We change direction between the districts of La Campaneta and Molins, on the bridge that makes up El Rincón. We start this way back. But contrary to what happens in other river paths in which the inclination of the road is perfectly perceived, in this case the slope is so small (Note that Bigastro is about 35 meters above sea level), that the hardness of the road is going to mark the direction of the wind, and not the supposed inclination of the path, practically flat. Already back, at kilometer twenty-six, we cross the reguerón between Bigastro and Molins, which flows into the Segura river, and in just one kilometer we reach the wooden bridge over the same river, in Jacarilla. This area, known as the Jacarilla meander, has been the subject of various actions to avoid overflow problems in river floods, as well as environmental conditioning, the bridge being the symbol of this improvement. At the height of Benejúzar we are obliged to cycle a roundabout as it passes through the CV-914, and we continue our route to Algorfa. In this case we decided to continue the march, but we can enjoy from the riverbed of the beautiful "skyline" of the municipality, highlighting the parish church dedicated to Our Lady of Carmen. If we decide to visit Algorfa, Montemar Castle is a mandatory stop. This manor house was built at the end of the 18th century, it never had military uses despite its appearance, and its style is somewhat French, something unusual in the area. At kilometer forty of the route we pass by the water wheel of the seventeenth century, located in the municipality of Benijófar, and continue to the town of Rojales, for now if with more than forty kilometers on the legs make a small stop at any of the terraces of the Malecon Diputación de Alicante street, while we enjoy the views of the Charles III bridge. Its construction, dating from the eighteenth century, meant breaking the natural separation imposed by the river and establishing, through its three large eyes under bell arch vaults, the union of the two halves of the municipality. Finally, once the forces are recovered, we finish our route to reach the town of Guardamar del Segura again. It should be noted that this route, being back and forth along the river, we can adjust it to the conditions of the group, and return at the time we want taking advantage of the various river level crossings and existing walkways along the way.

We start our stage today in the northern limit of the province. This natural border is marked by the Molinell riu, a natural drain from the land of Arrogo de Pego and the Marjal de Pego-Oliva Natural Park, a recommended visit for this afternoon after sailing. To find today's boarding point, we will reach the end of the Les Marines-Racons road to Dénia, specifically to Molinell beach (Oliva). Beaches of fine sand like Molinell and Les Deveses (Santa Ana area) will accompany us during our first moments of navigation until we reach the first breakwaters, before the Punta de L'Almadrava. Off the coast of Els Poblets the landscape changes and begins to offer us a stretch formed by a boulder, just before the mouth of the Girona river. In this municipality, and in the urban beach of L'Almadrava, we find the Piedra del Salvador, whose legend, along with popular tradition, continues to maintain it as a meeting point and celebration of local and private festive events. A few meters from the coast we find the Archaeological Site of L'Almadrava de Els Poblets, a factory for the development of amphorae and ceramics for common use and one of the few musealized sites in the area. Once the mouth of the Girona river is over, and after a few shovels, we recommend a quick landing to enter 150 meters and visit the Torre de l'Almadrava, an old watchtower from the 16th century, which belongs to the 'Castles of the Border of the Fear 'of the route of the 100 Castles of the Costa Blanca. We resume our paleo towards Dénia, accompanied by the impressive Sierra de Segaria, on our right, and the imposing Montgó on our horizon. The Punta de l'Estanyó and the Punta dels Molins await us and among them the mouth of the Barranc de l'Alberca. Beaches of fine sand, such as Les Bovetes and Les Marines, deserted in low season and with influx of tourists in summer, will take us to Dénia, our end of stage proposed for today. A good point to disembark would be passing the port of Dénia, right on the beach of the Marineta Cassiana, the last sandy beach of this stage and where it will be very easy to disembark and retract shovels.
