Descent along rapid rivers aboard inflatable rafts propelled by oars that can hold several people. Teamwork is very important for this activity, as the action of the oars must be coordinated in order to steer the boat.
A via ferrata is a sporting route that runs along walls or rocky peaks equipped to facilitate progression using elements that guarantee safety during the route such as steps, carabiners, ramps, handrails...
This sport requires the proper physical conditions, technical knowledge and the right equipment.
The Camino de la Lana (Wool Way), or better known as the Requena Way, is most likely the oldest and best-documented. It also holds the greatest historical consistency as far as its course is concerned, since both Romans and Arabs used it for travel, followed by wool merchants later in history.
The Camino de los sagrados corporales, from Llutxent to Daroca (Aragon), follows the route set by one of the oldest and most surprising medieval legends in Valencian culture. Based on the miracle of the holy cloths, narrated in a manuscript dated 1340, this path begins at the Monastery of Corpus Christi or of Santo Domingo, and follows the route that a mule, loaded with holy cloths, continued to Daroca, where they are kept today.
The Way of El Cid is a touristic, athletic and cultural itinerary that traverses Spain from Burgos to Valencia, connecting the historic footprints left by Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar, known as El Cid Campeador.
The Ruta de los Monasterios de Valencia (Monasteries of Valencia Route) (Sendero de Gran Recorrido GR-236) (Long-Distance Path GR-236)), is a historic and religious path of medieval origin that was recovered and signalled to be travelled by foot, bicycle, on horseback or by car.
Of the 66 km travelled by the "Carcaixent-Dénia trenet (Carcaixent-Dénia little train)," only 13 were recovered, in the Els Poblets-Dénia section (Dénia Greenway), and the section between Gandía and Oliva. The latter, known as the Safor Greenway, crosses beautiful orange groves between the two cities. It leads us to discover extraordinary monuments in both cities, especially the Borgia Castle in Gandía, and the Casa Mayans, secondary headquarters of the MUVIM.
To the north of the city of Valencia, a large part of the Horta of Valencia, or the Vega del Túria, as it was once called, has been conserved. While riding amongst typical crops, note the tiger nut, used to make the highly-valued Alboraia orxata.
In 2014, the necessary adaptations to make it a Greenway were made to the old railway route that joined Llíria and Valencia. This section, passing through the municipality of Benaguacil, had been in disuse.
The course begins at the old Llíria train station building, and ends in Molinet, an old Benaguacil halt, near the paper factory. This location has a rest area, trees to provide shade, tables and bicycle parking.
