Highlight • Historical Site

A very beautiful, historic square, where the town hall of Biar and the local police are also located. Well worth seeing, you should make the little detour.

Parish Church of Our Lady of the Assumption (Biar)

Highlight • Religious Site

The Parish Church of the Assumption of Our Lady was built in the late Gothic style. It stands out for its elaborately worked portal from 1519, which is one of the most important works of the first Renaissance period in the Valencian Community. And the Communion Chapel inside the church is a truly unique piece in the Churriguerist style, which serves as a typical example in the art books, with outstanding Mannerist frescoes.

The Parish Church of Our Lady of the Assumption, in the municipality of Biar, is a religious building built between the 15th and 16th centuries in the Renaissance style, and at the end it was expanded with the Communion Chapel and the presbytery from the 17th century in the Baroque style.

Biar

Highlight • Settlement

The historical center of Biar bears witness to a rich medieval history. Like so many Spanish villages, it consists of a labyrinth of narrow and steep streets where it is easy to get lost. The Castillo on the mountain top is the town's landmark and can be seen from afar. The Castilian knight and Spanish national hero El Cid is also said to have passed this way.

Molí L'Ombría

Highlight • River

The Molí L'Ombría area offers a lot of tranquility next to the Vinalopó river bed. It has a picnic area and a very picturesque path that allows you to reach the town of Banyeres. It is a nice place to rest or spend some time in nature.

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.

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.
