Waterways and Hiking Routes

The Ruta del Agua leads to the source of the Acequia del Port and passes monuments associated with the historical importance of water. PR-CV 222, the Senda alt del Benicadell, is an 11.1-kilometre hiking route with a duration of four hours. Different distances and time details help you compare options for a day and assess the time required for a route.

The Séquia del Port is an irrigation system dating from the 8th to the 13th century that crosses the municipal areas of Atzeneta d'Albaida, El Palomar and Albaida; at the same time, it runs through these municipal areas as a historic, cultural and ethnographic hiking route. This makes it possible to distinguish the waterways according to their technical, historical and hiking-related significance without mixing the individual topics.

Culture and History

The Iglesia de San Juan Bautista was built between 1719 and 1728 to replace a Moorish church from the 16th century that stood on the site of an earlier mosque. The church has a single central nave and eight chapels; its rectangular chancel is decorated with Baroque motifs. Those wishing to examine the architecture closely can consider the construction period, floor plan and furnishings as separate details.

The Nevera de Dalt in Atzeneta d'Albaida is a historic, cylindrical stone snow-storage structure with a dome. The Ermita del Santísimo Cristo de la Fe y del Monte Calvario dates from the 19th century. Monte Calvario is the setting for the traditional transfer of the statue of Christ to the church during the patron-saint festivities.

The Museu de les Artesanies d'Atzeneta d'Albaida preserves local traditions of esparto processing, stonework and the traditional casting of bells by the Roses family. It is housed in the former slaughterhouse and a restored washhouse. For your planning, you can give sacred architecture, historic structures, festive traditions and crafts different cultural priorities.
