Tour description

The Poble Nou de Benitatxell recovers, with tourist uses, the Serp path. A path formerly used by farmers to climb the terraces, corrals and lime kiln of Puig de la Llorença is now reborn as a tourist route. This route takes its name from the meandering shapes that characterize the ridges that arise at the foot of Puig Llorença, just from where the winding path that gave access to the cultivation terraces, corrals and lime kilns starts. The traditional use of the path was to facilitate movement on foot between various areas of the mountain. “The terraces conquered the mountains, hence the importance of the Serp route. Exportation intensified at the end of the 19th century but the phylloxera plague caused the massive abandonment of the land. Now, the vines are cultivated in the lowlands, but this traditional path can offer us many interesting things such as a hiking route ”Difficulty: low Distance: 5 km Comfortable shoes are recommended, water and camera Only for Saturday, March 31
