Puig Campana East from La Nucia
This walk starts in the valleys below the impressive Puig Campana. Then it climbs to link with part of the well known circuit of the Puig Campana but going anti-clockwise reveals different views. Decends again to a valley with grand views of Ponoch, circuits the Tossal del Grau and follows the charming Barranco del Lliriet back to the start.

Directions to start |
From La Nucia drive south along the CV70 towards Benidorm to Km.44. Immediately after the sign turn R and zero your odometer. Drive along the surfaced road with Montebello urbanization on your L and a new urbanization across the barranco on your R. for approx 0.9 km to reach a roundabout. Go straight across this roundabout and continue until reaching a Y junction. Take the right hand fork which is a track that is rough in parts, pass a Casa on your L with blue domed roofs and continue for a further 2.5km to where a track goes off down L to a ruin, a total of 3.4 km from the CV70. This junction is the start and there is parking for several cars. Note: After the blue Casa the track up to the start becomes very rough in places but is passable. If it proves too rough for your vehicle there are plenty of spots to pull off, park and walk the rest of the way to the start. |
