Between the shade of the Mondúver and the constant sound of water, the Clot de la Font is one of those places that invite you to slow down and enjoy cycling without looking at the clock. This natural spring, where the Badell—a tributary of the Vaca river—is born, is located a few kilometers from the urban center of Tavernes de la Valldigna and is a regular stop for cyclists, hikers, and runners. The access combines agricultural paths and stretches surrounded by pine forests and Mediterranean vegetation, perfect for a gravel, MTB, or even a quiet road route. The area is part of the Ruta dels Sentits and stands out for its fresh atmosphere, the shade of the Ombria, and a historic white fountain over 160 years old, next to a small waterfall that makes this place one of the most special points in the Valldigna. There's always a cycling vibe here: groups setting off at dawn, quick stops to fill water bottles, or simply a perfect place to rest before continuing towards the Cova del Bolomor, the Castell de Marinyén, or the routes of the Mondúver. The stone tables, potable water, and the tranquility of the surroundings make it a mandatory stop for any route through the Safor. A small oasis between mountain, water, and paths. Ideal for stopping, breathing, and keeping on rolling.

Jaume II of Aragon (1298): "A valley worthy of a monastery of your religion" Take a break and enjoy the view. From here, the Valldigna Valley and Tavernes look spectacular. After all the effort, you deserve this moment to regain your strength and enjoy the scenery. You don't always have to be pedaling; sometimes it's best to stop and let the mountain carry you away. Enjoy the ride again. The Valldigna remains a spectacular place to enjoy the mountains, cycling, hiking, and history. Tavernes de la Valldigna, Simat, Benifairó, and Barx are part of this valley, which, centuries later, remains "worthy" of contemplation.

Beautiful area, hopefully it will remain like this for a long time, there are hundreds, if not thousands of new, uninhabited apartments on the coast and there seems to be no end to the building frenzy.

Very good view of Valldigna and a well-deserved rest after climbing the port of Simat-Barx.

During the descent, the inside slope of the curves is very steep.
