29th of October
Let’s go beyond the hanging bridges and explore more of Chulilla. We will hike up to la Bandera peak and enjoy the views of this pretty village from a different angle.
We’ll meet in Valencia in the parking lot on av. Aragón in front of Mestalla stadium and drive to la Ermita. Once there, we’ll have a cup of coffee on a terrace of a bar before starting the hike.
The hike begins from the Fuente de Pelma, where we can provide ourselves with water for the road. We will cross the paelleros and next to a field of olive trees we will gradually leave the area Recreation of Pelma parallel to the highway. The route continues through the area known as “Las Clochas de Targa”, “La Hoya” ravine, until we join the Chulilla Spa road, in this section the route coincides with the PR-76 “Chulilla-Gestalgar”. At the Fuente de la Rinconá we can replenish water.
Following the PR-76, we’ll come to a detour where you must begin to ascend to the left towards the top of the Bandera, through the area known as “Los Picarchos” leaving the Chulilla Spa at the bottom. Once at the top of the mountain, the route runs through the area known as the “Corral de Javier” until it reaches the top of the Bandera, once there you have to turn left to reach the Mirador de la Bandera. Once we have observed the spectacular landscape that the viewpoint offers us, we must go back to rejoin the previous path and continue descending through the area known as “El Losar”, until we reach the recreational area of Pelma again.
