The route to El Castellet is considered easy, pleasant and not very demanding; only the final section involves some elevation gain. From El Castellet, it offers views of the agricultural fields as well as Turís's natural and urban landscapes.

La Carencia is a hiking destination from Turís; information boards installed at strategic points provide information about the site. The access routes to El Castellet have been improved. Work has also been carried out to restore the fortification of Arab origin so that visitors can learn more about its history.

For travel planning, impressions can be weighted differently: historic sites and religious architecture, landscape and trails, wine tourism and cuisine, as well as the summer festivals at the end of July, represent different thematic focuses. You can consider these areas separately if not all aspects are meant to have the same importance. The information on routes and landscape thus complements the cultural and culinary topics; a personal selection can be based on the desired activity, interests or travel dates.
