And Mallada del Llop (1,357 m.) The trail passes by Els Frades rock pinnacles that are up to 50m height. Orographic feature of importance is the Guadalest Valley, bounded by the Aitana, Serrella and L'Aixorta. Itinerary The trail starts at Quatretondeta, southward and along with the PR-CV 24, for concrete road soon becomes dirt track, which will continue up to the Font d'Espinal, then on the road to link the path that goes up. Shortly after crossing a quarry arrived to the Red Fountain, where the trail becomes way. In a few meters we find the junction with the PR- CV 24 that goes to the Pla de la Casa, continue along the track until picking up a raft for fighting forest fires. From here begins to descend the track that later becomes asphalt to Benasau population, end of the route. .
