Benirrama to Forat and back via Alt de Xap
From Benirrama we walk to Benissiva and from here up to the Forada ridge. We take a short detour to go to the Forat and then retrace our steps to walk along the Forada ridge, past a cave house. Then over the Alt de Xap and down a Mozarabic trail back to Benirrama. All on quiet roads, tracks and marked paths
