La
Serrella Itinerary
|
Arrive in our base in the town of Callosa d'en Sarria, about
10km inland of the Mediterranean Sea and at the foothills
of the Sierra de Aixorta. The moorish town of Callosa d'en
Sarria can be easily reached by the hourly bus service from
Benidorm.
After a morning transfer to Bolulla you follow steep paths to
climb through the rock formations of the Barranco del Riu Negre.
This is a local route once used by the postal service but now
takes you from the low lying orchards around Bolulla to the village
of Castells. Passing pine groves and olive and almond orchards
you descend to our base in Castell de Castells.
You have a choice today of an easier walk in the foothills of
the Aixorta Range or optionally a longer walk with and ascent
of the peak of Mallá del Llop (1357m). You trek along animal
trails to the ancient citadel of El Castellet, situated at 1050m.
From here you have marvellous views of the Guadalest dam and
all the surrounding villages in all directions before returning
to base.
After the hills of yesterday you have an easier walk today through
low-lying orchards and easy countryside as you meander along
valley floors. Passing through the gardens of the quiet villages
of Famorca and Fachega you continue north-west to the hamlet
of Benimassot and your accommodation tonight.
You can either elect to have an easy half-day of walking to the
Pica Cantacuc or opt for the more challenging walk to the summit
of Pla de la Casa at 1355m. In either case your day of walking
will return you to our rural hotel here in Benimassot.
Your final day of your walking holiday follows a lovely route
from Quatretondeta up through the fabulous El Arcs rock formations.
You then continue to ascend to Mas de la Canaleta, situated 900
metres high with wonderful views across the countryside, down
to the village of Confrides. You return at the end of the day
to our original base in Callosa d'en Sarria.
The tour is completed following your breakfast. If you are returning
home later in the day you may just have time to visit the famous
waterfalls here at the Font de L'Algar botanical garden.
6 nights accommodation, based on two adults sharing, in our approved
partner hotels (normally with en-suite facilities) on a dinner,
bed and breakfast basis.
