Ascent to Port de Barx

Highlight • Mountain Pass

Spring in its purest form: in the foreground, the orange blossom perfumes the beginning; in the background, a cyclist begins the climb to the Barx pass, almost blurred, as if the mountain were swallowing him up little by little. It is April, the season is starting, and there is no better sign than this: the scent of orange trees, soft sun and eager legs. The pass awaits… and so does the view.

Monastery of Santa María de la Valldigna

Highlight • Religious Site

The Royal Monastery of Santa Maria de Valldigna was founded by James II the Just on March 15, 1298, who gave the Alfàndec valley to Abbot Bononat of Vila-seca to found a monastery of the Cistercian order, a branch of the Santes Creus monastery.
It was the first monastery of such importance built in the ancient Kingdom of Valencia, after the Christian conquest.
Days after the royal donation, James II, brother Bononat and his entourage met at the place of Ràfol (a Christian village in the valley founded after the conquest of James I) to take possession of the territory, plus one mile inland, the castles of Marinyén, Alcalà and the tower of Mondúber.
