The Kingdom of Valencia 

 

The Kingdom of Valencia circular route is currently in the project phase. The reconditioning and signposting work has yet to be carried out on most of the route and the present situation is as follows:

  • The 86 km between Valencia and Montaverner (86 km) are shared with the Defensa del Sur (Southern Defence Line) and are already signposted as GR 160.
  • The remainder of the route, between Montaverner and Valencia and passing through Beniatjar and Gandia (166 km) has not been signposted and the trails have not been suitably reconditioned. These locations are currently only accessible by road.
