This is considered a difficult jogging route, often described as a "hard run." It requires very good fitness and sure-footedness due to its length and varied terrain. It is not recommended for beginners.
The route is approximately 17.9 kilometers long and typically takes around 2 hours and 6 minutes to complete for an experienced jogger.
The terrain is quite varied. The majority of the route (about 12.5 kilometers) is unpaved. You will also encounter sections of asphalt (around 2.09 km), paved surfaces (about 1.03 km), and natural paths (approximately 682 meters).
Along the route, you can discover several interesting points. These include the historic Molino de la Torre, an old tower mill with a long canal, and the natural feature Fuente de la Mearrera. You'll also pass by the Cuco Garganchín hut.
Specific parking details are not provided, but as a circular route, you would typically find suitable parking near the starting point, often in or around the Casa Alcoy area or a nearby village. It's advisable to check local maps for designated parking zones.
Generally, trails in natural areas like this are dog-friendly, but it's always best to keep your dog on a leash, especially given the varied terrain and potential for wildlife. Please ensure you follow local regulations regarding pets.
Given the mountainous landscape and potential for varied weather, spring and autumn are often ideal for jogging this route. Summers can be hot, and winters might bring colder temperatures or wet conditions, making the unpaved sections more challenging.
There is no information indicating that permits or entrance fees are required for this specific jogging route or for accessing the general Rambla de los Molinos area. However, always respect local signage and regulations.
The trail is situated in an area known for its mountainous landscapes, surrounded by natural parks like Font Roja and Sierra de Mariola. You can expect scenic views of the region, combining natural beauty with historical elements like the Molino de la Torre.
While the Fuente de la Mearrera is a natural feature, it's always recommended to carry sufficient water for a challenging 17.9 km route. There are no specific facilities like cafes or restaurants mentioned directly on the trail, so plan accordingly.
Due to its "difficult" rating, length, and requirement for "very good fitness," this route is generally not considered family-friendly, especially for young children or those new to jogging. It's best suited for experienced adults.
