The grade of this walk is MS/B/Scr, which means
MS – Moderately Strenuous: Up to 600 metres ascent and/or no more than 15 km in length with some rough going taken at a reasonable pace.
B – Less than half the route on rough ground
Scr – Scrambling: This implies the need for handholds to ascend steep rock pitches with a sense of exposure to vertigo and where a slip could lead to a serious accident.

Directions to start |
Car shuffle needed. Follow the A7 from the south to jnc 429 and exit. Take the second cami and drop down the hill to find a car park and notice boards. Park one car here. Continue northwards on the A7 to the next exit and follow the CV615 around Atzaneta, through Carricola and onwards through Beniatjar. At the second major bend to the L there is a forest road going straight ahead. Follow this on its primary line (and around a major zig to the R) to reach Serreta Porrona – a large house with a gate preventing you from going any further. Park here. |
