    Highlights

    • Contemplate the canyon of the river Jucar from the viewpoints of Cofrentes.
    • Visit Alcala del Jucar and its caves, one of the most beautiful villages in the province of Albacete.
    • Take a short trek through the Los Chorradores area, to see several waterfalls.
    With its more than 500 kilometres in length, the Jucar River runs through three provinces of Spain and finally flows into the Mediterranean Sea, more precisely in the city of Cullera.
    This route follows the course of the river Jucar in its last stretch. There will be several stops including towns such as Alzira, natural sites for short trekking with waterfalls and caves, and charming villages on the banks of the river, such as Alcalá del Jucar and Cofrentes.
    The route also stops at viewpoints to observe the natural formations surrounding the crystal-clear river, such as the canyons and reservoirs.
    In short, two days to follow the course of the river almost from its mouth to the town of Jorquera, in the province of Albacete.

    Alzira, a Short Trek Through Waterfalls and the Village of Cofrentes

    The route starts with the town of Alzira to visit its historic centre and the remains of medieval walls near the banks of the river Jucar. Then the road goes into the nature, a bit further away from the Jucar riverbed. It's time to stop the engine and trek along the waterfalls near the town of Navarres. A few kilometres further on, the river is bordered again, to drive along a scenic stretch of road, when the riverbed forms a canyon with high rock walls. The last stop is in Cofrentes, a village where ancient volcanic eruptions have left their mark on the landscape.
