    Hiking

    Wonderful canyon walk to the origin of the Rio Matarranya with many wooden bridges over the river. Several river crossings over stones. Surefootedness and average fitness are good prerequisites for this wonderful river hike. Swimming in the river is not allowed because the water in Beceite is used as drinking water. Great hike!

    Hiking

    The waters of the Matarranya river have dug, for tens of thousands of years, their own bed in the rocks being its banks walls that reach, in this section, up to 60 meters in height, being its minimum width one and a half meters.
    It can only be walked on foot in the dry season, when the water disappears completely.

    Route of Parrissal through the walkways of the Natural Path of Matarraña Algars

    The Ruta del Parrissal, also known as the Parrizal de Beceite, is one of those breathtaking excursions that takes you along a 7.2-kilometer trail across wooden walkways suspended over the crystal-clear Matarraña River. With an elevation gain of 205 meters and a duration of approximately two hours and twenty-eight minutes, this moderately difficult route is perfect for those seeking a unique riverside adventure, winding between imposing limestone rock walls and formations like the Gúbies del Parrissal. It's an immersive experience that connects you directly with the region's pristine nature.

    Planning your visit is key to enjoying this natural gem. Due to its popularity and the need to protect the environment, access is regulated; you'll need to reserve your parking space online in advance. Please note that dogs are not permitted, and swimming in the river is prohibited. To avoid crowds and enjoy the serenity of the landscape, I recommend visiting during the off-season or early in the morning.

    This route stands out for its biodiversity and geology, nestled within the Puertos de Beceite massif, a sanctuary for species such as the Iberian ibex. The Matarraña River is one of the best-preserved in the Mediterranean, harboring rich aquatic life. Additionally, near the start, you can take a detour to visit the Fenellosa cave paintings, a UNESCO World Heritage site, adding a fascinating historical touch to your natural adventure.
