The Vía Verde del Mar, connecting Benicàssim and Oropesa del Mar, offers an unparalleled coastal cycling experience. You'll pedal along a smooth path, built on an old railway line, that winds between the Sierra de Oropesa and the Mediterranean. Enjoy panoramic sea views, pass through rocky coves like La Renegà, and traverse a long, illuminated tunnel, all on a 23.7-kilometer route that immerses you in the natural beauty of the Valencian coast.
This easy route, with an elevation gain of just 145 meters and an estimated duration of 1 hour and 26 minutes, is perfect for a relaxed ride. It's ideal for leisure cyclists of all ages and fitness levels, including families. The path is well-maintained, with paved and compacted gravel sections, and features rest areas and bike parking, making it a very accessible option.
The Vía Verde del Mar is not only a visual delight but also holds significant historical and ecological value. It follows the course of a railway line that operated for 138 years, and along the way, you can see historic watchtowers like Torre Colomera and the Iberian settlement of "Orpesa la Vella." The area also stands out for its biodiversity, with protected marine ecosystems and Mediterranean pine forests in Monte Bovalar, offering a unique blend of nature and history.
