Greenway Aragon – València. 7 days

Day 1: Arrival in València
Your journey begins in València, a vibrant Mediterranean city where centuries of history meet striking modern architecture.

Explore the charming streets of the Ciutat Vella (Old Town), home to the Cathedral, the impressive Central Market and a lively network of picturesque squares, traditional cafés and restaurants.

For a completely different perspective, visit the spectacular City of Arts and Sciences, one of València's most recognisable landmarks, renowned for its futuristic architecture and cultural attractions.

Take the opportunity to enjoy the city's welcoming atmosphere and sample some authentic Valencian cuisine before your cycling adventure begins.

Day 2: Albarracín – Teruel | 40 km
Included transfer: València → Albarracín

After your transfer from València, you'll arrive in Albarracín, widely regarded as one of Spain's most beautiful historic villages.

Before setting off, take some time to explore its picturesque medieval streets, admire the traditional architecture and perhaps enjoy a coffee in one of its charming cafés.

Your cycling adventure begins with a gentle climb towards the Pinares de Rodeno Protected Landscape, a remarkable natural area characterised by reddish sandstone formations, pine forests and prehistoric rock art.

Continue through this distinctive landscape towards Bezas, a peaceful village where you can stop for a well-deserved break.

The final stretch follows a picturesque river valley, gradually leading you towards Teruel, a historic city celebrated for its remarkable Mudéjar architecture and fascinating cultural heritage.

Day 3: Teruel – Albentosa / Sarrión | 45 km
Leaving Teruel behind, cycle through peaceful pine forests before joining the famous Ojos Negros Greenway, one of Spain's most remarkable former railway routes.

The first section involves a gradual, manageable climb towards the Escandón Pass. From here, the terrain becomes increasingly favourable as you continue towards La Puebla de Valverde.

This traditional Aragonese village is an excellent place to stop for refreshments before continuing through landscapes dotted with holm oaks, oak trees and Mediterranean vegetation.

The surrounding region is particularly famous for its black truffles, considered among the finest in Europe and highly valued in international gastronomy.

Your day ends in Albentosa or Sarrión, depending on hotel availability. Both provide a peaceful rural setting in which to relax after your cycling day and enjoy the region's traditional cuisine.

Day 4: Albentosa / Sarrión – Jérica / Navajas / Segorbe | 57–62 km
Continue along the Ojos Negros Greenway as the landscape gradually changes from the highlands of Teruel to the greener valleys of the Valencian Region.

After passing through Barracas, one of the first towns on the Valencian side of the route, you'll enjoy increasingly gentle terrain, with long downhill sections following the former railway corridor.

Along the way, discover Jérica, a charming historic town overlooking the River Palancia. Its picturesque streets, distinctive Mudéjar tower and riverside surroundings make it an excellent place for a break.

Further along the route, the landscape becomes increasingly fertile, with orchards and cultivated fields appearing between the hills.

Near Navajas, consider visiting the beautiful Salto de la Novia, a spectacular waterfall surrounded by lush vegetation and one of the area's best-known natural attractions.

Depending on hotel availability, your overnight stay will be in Jérica, Navajas or Segorbe. Each town offers its own historic character and welcoming atmosphere.

Day 5: Jérica / Navajas / Segorbe – Canet d'en Berenguer | 45–50 km
Today's journey takes you from the inland valleys of the Valencian Region all the way to the Mediterranean coast.

Following the River Palancia valley, you'll cycle through a varied landscape of pine forests, orchards, traditional farmland and charming villages.

The route passes between two remarkable natural areas: Sierra Calderona Natural Park and Sierra de Espadán Natural Park, with predominantly downhill terrain making for an enjoyable ride towards the coast.

One of the day's cultural highlights is Sagunt, a historic city famous for its impressive Roman theatre, ancient castle and rich archaeological heritage.

As you approach the Mediterranean, the landscape opens up to reveal the coastal plains and beautiful beaches of Canet d'en Berenguer.

Spend the afternoon relaxing by the sea, taking a stroll along the promenade or enjoying fresh Mediterranean cuisine after a rewarding day of cycling.

Day 6: Canet d'en Berenguer – València | 35 km
Your final cycling day takes you through the fertile agricultural landscape of l'Horta de València, a historic region renowned for its traditional farming methods, irrigation channels and colourful cultivated fields.

Along the way, you'll pass through small Valencian towns such as El Puig, home to the impressive Royal Monastery of Santa María del Puig, closely associated with King Jaume I and the Christian conquest of València in the 13th century.

As you continue south, you'll discover the region's traditional chufa (tiger nut) plantations, particularly characteristic of the area surrounding Alboraia.

These small tubers are the main ingredient in horchata de chufa, one of València's most famous traditional drinks.

Consider stopping at a local horchatería to enjoy a refreshing glass of horchata, perhaps accompanied by traditional fartons, while taking in the peaceful rural surroundings.

The final kilometres lead you into València, where your cycling adventure comes to an end.

Celebrate your journey with a stroll through the historic centre, a delicious Valencian meal or a relaxing evening enjoying the city's Mediterranean atmosphere.

Day 7: València — Departure
After breakfast, your cycling holiday comes to an end.

Depending on your travel arrangements, you may have some free time to explore València before your departure.
