The water that reached the square
The route follows an old irrigation channel that carried water from the Lebrillico spring to the square, where it filled a pond for livestock and horses.
As you climb, the houses and mountains shrink. At the top, La Cruz viewpoint gives the best overall view of the village.
Step by step
- Start at Plaza de la Baronía. Go up Calle Eras, by the steps next to La Baronía restaurant; at the top, follow the road and take the first street on the right.
- The Lebrillico channel. The mountain section begins, following the old water conduit.
- Lebrillico spring. The spring that supplied the village.
- Viewpoint by the pond. Tables and benches to get your strength back.
- The ridge of La Muela and La Cruz viewpoint. The village, the castle, the Turia canyon and La Punta at your feet.
