On Foot Holidays has just launched a new self-guided walking route through Spain’s stunning Marina Alta region—perfect for slow travel lovers seeking sun-soaked trails, local charm, and unforgettable views this spring, autumn, or winter.
Trail Highlights
The newly released 76km trail in the Marina Alta region of Valencia takes you deep into Spain’s soulful countryside—through gorges, across ridges, and into quiet hilltop villages that feel a world away from the tourist crowds.
Your journey begins in the remote village of Castell de Castells, winding your way through the picturesque hamlets of Benimaurell, Parcent, and Jalon before ending in the charming coastal town of Denia—the perfect spot to toast your hiking achievement with local wine and tapas.
Travellers can expect around 10–16km per day, with a medium difficulty rating, making it ideal for independent hikers who enjoy a mix of challenge and comfort.
