Muntanya de les Creus Trail

The route usually takes about 3 hours and 50 minutes to complete. However, some variants can extend the duration up to 5 hours, depending on your pace and how often you stop to enjoy the views.

This is considered a moderate hike, requiring good physical fitness and sure-footedness due to ascents and descents. While not for absolute beginners, those with some hiking experience should manage it.

The trail features mostly accessible paths but also includes demanding sections. You'll encounter a steep initial ascent, rocky mountain areas, and the historic "Senda dels Amoladors" on the descent, which is a zigzagging path with large stones and a "vertiginous descent."

You'll experience spectacular panoramic views of the Valldigna valley, the coast, and the sea from various natural viewpoints. Key points include the Les Creus Summit Cross, the El Calvari Defensive Wall and Canal, and the Fontetes de Cantus. On clear days, you might even spot Ibiza or the Montgó massif.

The trail is a circular route from Tavernes de la Valldigna, and the starting point by Les Fontetes is a common access point. Specific parking information is not detailed, but Tavernes de la Valldigna offers various parking options within the town, from where you can access the trailhead.

The trail is generally considered dog-friendly, but it's always recommended to keep your dog on a leash, especially in areas with wildlife or steep sections. Ensure your dog is also fit enough for a moderate hike with significant elevation changes.

The best time to hike this trail is typically during the spring and autumn months when temperatures are milder. Summers can be very hot, making the ascents more challenging, while winters can bring cooler temperatures and potentially more unpredictable weather.

Yes, the route also passes through sections of the El Camí IT5TR5 El Camí del Sud: de Dénia a Castelló de la Plana and Carrer Castellets.

The route passes by the Fontetes de Cantus, a small spring. Additionally, the Font de la Sangonera is mentioned as a natural spring that often includes a pleasant recreational area. However, it's always advisable to carry sufficient water for the entire duration of your hike.

Given the moderate difficulty and varied terrain, we recommend bringing sturdy hiking shoes, sufficient water, snacks, sun protection (hat, sunscreen), and a fully charged phone. Trekking poles can be helpful for the steep ascents and descents, especially on the Senda dels Amoladors.
