Circular gravel from Quesa to Caroche Peak

The interior of the province of Valencia is full of mountains. The Sierra de los Caroches is located almost in Castilla-La Mancha, in the heart of the Canal de Navarrés region, its steep limestone massifs are the ideal place for the water to play with the soft terrain and carve spectacular gorges of turquoise pools.

This Route is circular from Quesa, an important rural town surrounded by ideal swimming areas in summer that you can reach by private vehicle. The path ascends to the Caroche peak, while immersing you in a charming Mediterranean mountain landscape dotted with plots of olive trees, almond trees and some fruit trees, crowned by imposing calcareous cliffs.

The route is physically demanding and during the day you do not pass through any town, so we recommend that you bring enough water and food and some spare parts. The technical section is not difficult, so a gravel bike is more than enough to ride the slopes and enjoy the views. Given the high temperature contrast between winter and summer, we advise you to do this adventure in spring or autumn, both seasons offer the best of the territory and, on warm days, some swimming opportunities.
