Medi natural i usos tradicionals del barranc de Torrent (2004), to offer a diagnosis of the environmental state, uses, and social perception of this natural space. - Introduction of these Assets in Torrent guia d´itineraris (2009). - Between 2009 and 2010, els Arquets de Dalt and de Baix were restored with the subsidy from the Ministry of Culture, through the General Directorate of Valencian Cultural Heritage. - In 2014, the Master Plan for Hydraulic Heritage was carried out: The publication Ruta pel patrimoni hidràulic, natural i etnogràfic del barranc de l´Horteta i la séquia de Torrent was carried out.

The road is narrow but in excellent condition (as of 2025, it's so new it doesn't even have painted lines yet). It's 3.7 km long with an average gradient of 6.0% and a maximum gradient of 10.5%, for a total elevation gain of 221 m, reaching a summit of 409 m above sea level (according to official signage). After a short descent, you can connect to the Puerto del Barranco de la Escoba pass, or take the secondary road to climb La Marjana.

Rest area, just down a few steps from the road. Good shade, and running water for refreshment and drinking water from the fountain. There's a paella grill area (although, at least in summer, it's closed to public use), tables, and benches. Not to mention, the most remarkable thing is the view over the reservoir.

A lookout point overlooking the Cortes de Pallas Reservoir. It also has a parking area, wooden tables and benches, some children's games, and a stop for the tourist train. (I'm leaving the only photo I saved, but please add others; this one is bad :) )
