Tips from the Community
I rode from Betxi to Cabanes (approx. 40 km) on this cycle path. The route itself is in excellent condition regarding surface, signage and width, and it rides very well. But it is permanently very loud due to the motorway running right next to it.

Nice village near Nules. It has a via ferrata and the upper area is attached to the mountain.

Roundabout at the entrance to Cabanes in its eastern part. In it is the Bar Branto, a place where we can have a drink if we feel like it.

It is a short but very hard ascent, which will probably surprise us with its difficulty. We will start the climb with an initial section up to the crossroads of the CV-15 with some hard ramps already, we will cross the town of Rosildos, going around the church to look for the street that leads us towards Mas de Cervera, where we will join the "main" road towards Serra Engarcerán. Upon reaching a somewhat more wooded area, we will find a small rest, but let's not be overconfident, because after taking a left turn and the trees disappear, we will encounter the hardest part of the ascent, where the gradient reaches a maximum of 16% on a 500 m section that does not drop below 10%. We will finish somewhat more easily, but undoubtedly this climb will have pleasantly surprised us.

The Via Augusta crosses the provinces of Tarragona and Castelló while crossing the river Sénia. This acted as the backbone of our regions and as a gathering place for the population due to its function for the transport of goods and people. This section is a good example since very close to the road we have evidence of a large number of settlements. Very close to Benlloc on the edge of the road is the Roman Arch of Cabanes. In the section that passes through Pla de l'Arc, a large number of millstones have been found, clear evidence of the passage of the Via Augusta through the area.

Located on the Via Augusta, today Camí dels Romans, the Cabanes Roman Arch was erected in the 2nd century AD. as an honorary-funerary monument, possibly linked to a Roman villa located near the road itself and the monument. The pillars are preserved, on which sits a semicircular arch formed by fourteen voussoirs. It has a height of 5.8 m. although its original height must have been around 7 m. The triumphal arch is missing the entablature and the spandrels, having found ashlars from the arch in the houses of the town. The arch is located 2 km from Cabanes in the direction of Benlloch. Starting from the Cabanes arch, you can follow two routes on foot or by bicycle. The one to the north reaches Vilanova d'Alcolea, in whose town hall a milestone is on display. The one to the south leads us to La Pobla, where there are other milestones. The distance of both routes is about 8 km.
