TOURIST ROUTES CYCLE - GREEN ROUTES
MAP

Through these lands three old rail layouts that allow to know important and interesting places of our geography reflect. With this document it is sought to give to know the existence of these routes. But for lack of signaling and adaptation of most of the tracts, the itineraries can get complicated in many cases. For that reason we recommend earnestly to consult the materials and resources expressed hereinafter, and to prepare the routes conscientiously before the exit.

Ruta 1. La Ruta del Serpis 

This road united the populations from Alcoy and Gandia, connecting this way the mountain alicantina with the coast. Here the journey is shown with origin in Cocentaina, and I dedicate in Villalonga (32 km). The maximum height is Cocentaina (434 m) and the minimum Villalonga (92 m). Some tracts are asphalted, and others are of loose earth. The road gets lost in some tracts, although he/she recovers with easiness. The route can extend toward Gandia (12 more km), and to connect here with Olive for the 'Via of the Safor' (8 more km). It is needed to take a lantern for the step of the tunnels.
From the urban center of Cocentaina and in north address, it is necessary to arrive, well through the streets of the medieval neighborhood, or for the highway, to the deviation round to l'Alcudia, in the same national highway. Of this, it leaves a marked road as of l'Arpella that is already the old one via, and that it arrives right to the old station of Wall. Once here the route continues in the same address reflecting for the Avenue of Gandia that first it crosses the Av. Of Valencia and it puts an end later in the intersection to Almodóvar's street Duchess. Here the right layout intersects for lack of the bridge. The road is the visible one to the left that lowers, the Branco it crosses, and it ascends until arriving to an electric transformer that we will surround taking the one in route to 90º to the right. The route no longer has loss, and soon we will see that this signalled as 'Camí of the Road.' After Gaianes, Beniarrés and L'Orxa, you arrives to it leaves it more attractive of the journey that reflects for the 'Raco of the Duc' among tunnels and magnificent landscapes watered by the waters of the Serpis.
 

Ruta 2. La Vía del ‘Xitxarra’ 

This is the name with which the railroad was known that reflected between Wall of Alcoy and Key, already in Murcia. The journey of approximately 83 km. It is in their biggest earth part and loose stones, although in some tracts the firm one this more zipped, and even asphalted. The maximum altitude is in Banyeres with 816 m and the minimum Wall to 410 m. It is only considered Via Green, the tract between Villena and the Virtues (7 km).
From Cocentaina, the same as in the route of the Serpis, we must arrive at the station of Wall. In the tree-lined round that there is before this building, we will turn to the left, address south-west to go for the avenue of the polygon, called Fco. Vitoria Laporta toward the N-340 that we will save for the crossing regulated by traffic light.
Here once in the other side of the highway, a road signalled is born as 'Them Forensic' that reflects right with chalets to both sides. A slight badén in the asphalted road marks us the crossing with the old one via of the train that is identified easily. We will take it in north address. Another option to find the road is to continue in north address for the highway N-340 until arriving to the following round where he/she is San Antonio's hermitage and two gas stations. In this crossing we follow address Agres, and a second round after an inferior step, it arrives to the cumin 'Racó Rock' that also crosses the old one via. The principle of the journey coincides with the path PRV-277.
Already in the estribaciones of the 'Sierra Mariola', we will go to Agres and wing old station of the Xitxarra. The following town is Alfafara, and later in a quite right layout you arrives to Bocairente, Banyeres and Beneixama. The route continues until Villena, and he/she goes directly to Yecla.

Ruta 3. La ruta del Maigmó.

This route was planned for a railroad that united the port of Alicante with Alcoy. The train never bequeathed to circulate, but of the project it was prepared a rail platform with numerous bridges and tunnels that saved the rural orography of the area. The route that intends part of Cocentaina and it arrives until Agost. He/she has about 70 kms of longitude, and the maximum bench mark of altitude they are almost those 900 m of the Hill of Malany. The journey is only considered Via Green among Alcoy the channel (12 km) and Port of the Maigmó until Agost (22 km) the rest of the journey that he/she poses for Ibi, Castile and Tibi coincides with the recently open railcar of the interior. Advisable to take lantern.
Leaving of Cocentaina, we go to Alcoy for the N-340 in south address, since the layout of the train 'dels Anglesos' that united both populations it has been cut by the variant of Cocentaina. Once we arrive to the entrance of Alcoy, we will follow the indications to the traffic toward Banyeres or Neighborhood of Batoy. Before leaving the urban nucleus we will find to left wing this neighborhood. There near the park, in wing Modúver remains silent, the Green Road begins until the one it Jumps. After this first tract, the route is hindered because he/she joins with the railcar, or he/she even gets lost in occasions, until you arrives to the port of the Maigmó, where he/she recovers the Road Green that takes us without any difficulty until the halt of Agost.
