    Hiking

    A wonderful place with beautiful views of the sea and the coast of the Plana Alta. It is an ideal place to see the sunrise or sunset, very picturesque and just a few meters from the urban center of Oropesa.

    The lighthouse was inaugurated in 1857 and used olive oil, paraffin and later petroleum as fuel. In 1924, it was electrified, but during the Civil War, it was turned off and looted.
    This lighthouse, with its powerful spotlight visible for several miles, has guided ships to dry land after long days at sea. Its history and location make it a historical enclave and a bastion of economic and social progress in the Villa de Oropesa del Mar. 🌟🗼🌊

    The Benicàssim - Oropesa Greenway of the Sea Trail invites you on a 20.1-kilometer coastal adventure, where the old railway line transforms into a balcony overlooking the Mediterranean. You'll walk between impressive cliffs and hidden coves like La Renegà, with the sound of the waves as your soundtrack. The route, which will take you approximately 5 hours and 17 minutes, is a challenging hiking experience, ideal for those seeking a long and active day with uninterrupted sea views. Don't miss passing by the Oropesa del Mar Lighthouse, an iconic point along the route.

    To fully enjoy this route, it's advisable to start early in the morning, especially during warmer months, as shade is limited. Make sure to carry enough water and sun protection for the entire day. You can access the Vía Verde del Mar from either Benicàssim or Oropesa del Mar, and both towns offer parking and public transport options, simplifying the logistics of your hike.

    This Greenway is famous for being one of the most spectacular coastal routes in the Valencian Community, notable for its transformation from a railway line into a recreational trail. Along the way, you'll discover illuminated tunnels, such as the one passing through Monte Bovalar, and ancient watchtowers like Torre Colomera, which add a historical and cultural touch to your experience. It's a unique opportunity to combine exercise with the exploration of the area's rich marine and terrestrial biodiversity.
