Section along the Camino del Cid

Highlight • Trail

The route from Villena, via Biar to Banyeres de Mariola, was completely off busy roads. Very well-developed cycle paths that lead through the beautiful landscape. So far the best 🚴‍♀️ Camino section to cycle on. Met friendly people, had nice conversations.

CidCT: Camino del Cid Ciclotourista 🇪🇸 Route of the castles in the historically contested border area between the Moors and the kingdoms of Castile, Valencia and Aragon.

Canyon and Bridge near Villena

Highlight • Canyon

The Vía Verde del Xixarra near Villena is a charming cycle path that follows the former railway line “El Xixarra”. About twelve kilometers from Villena, the path crosses the Río Vinalopó via a reconstructed bridge that was originally part of the railway. There, the river flows mostly dry through an impressive gorge carved by the foothills of the Sierra de Mariola. Cyclists can easily navigate the route while enjoying the combination of vineyards, dry valleys, and historic engineering structures. The route is well signposted and combines scenic beauty with the unique appeal of the old railway line.

Villena

Highlight • Settlement

The city of Villena, in the province of Alicante, is well worth a stop. Its old town has been declared a historic-artistic site and it is not surprising, since the town houses one of the most important Gothic ensembles in the Valencian Community, as well as a castle of Almohad origin. In addition, its archaeological museum contains the treasure of Villena, an impressive set of pieces of gold and other precious metals from the Bronze Age.

Santa Maria Church

Highlight • Castle

This church was built in the 16th century on the site of the old Muslim main mosque of Villena, at which time it became the church of El Rabal, the suburb outside the medieval walls of Villena.

Hermitage of Saint Bartholomew

Highlight • Religious Site

The hermitage is located in a large picnic area with a fountain and shadows from the large pine forest. It is a quiet and ideal place to stop along the way and recharge your batteries.

Next to the hermitage is the old train route that has been recovered as a cycle route, it is known as the Vía Verde del Chicharra.
