Discover the beautiful unspoilt nature
on the Costa Blanca via these special routes
Take a walk or cycle along the Vías Verdes
Are you a nature lover and enjoy walking or cycling in the countryside? Then you can indulge yourself on the Costa Blanca thanks to the Region of Valencia's Greenways. More than 3,100 kilometres of unused railway infrastructure in Spain have been converted into impressive cycling and pedestrian routes. The Vías Verdes run along disused railway lines, so they are quiet, flat routes, away from traffic. These routes are also suitable for children and wheelchair users. Read on and don't miss the most beautiful Greenways near Dormio Resort Costa Blanca.
Discover the oasis of peace of the Carrascal de la Font Toja Natural Park (10 km)

You will pass the remains of the old Alcoi railway line and the Mediterranean forest in the heart of the natural park. In this spectacular setting you will experience an oasis of quietness and the beauty of nature. The route is mostly asphalted.
Follow the Camino de Santiago through the countryside (15 km)
This route passes through different regions of Alicante. You will pass through a section of the railway known as "El Xixarra" from Las Vertidas to the municipality of Biar. On this scenic route through different regions, you can enjoy the charm of this unique region and the Camino de Santiago through southeastern Spain.
Walk along the Ciudad del Juguete through almond and olive groves (1.5 km)
This ancient and deserted path runs through the wide agricultural valley that separates the Sierra del Menejador mountain range and forms part of the Carrascar de la Font Roja Natural Park. This particular route takes you through the Cuartel mountain range in the south. You will walk through the Ciudad del Juguete, where you can also visit the Toy Museum and learn about the evolution of toys over the years. During this short walk, you will also pass beautiful almond and olive groves. Just 2 kilometres from the end of this route is the Torretes-Font Roja ecological farm, where you can freely explore all kinds of aromatic plants, rose bushes, cactus and fruit trees.
Discover the historic railway line from Alcoi to Alicante (22 km)
In the 1920s, engineers took on the challenge of building a railway line across damaged and almost desert-like terrain from Alcoi to Alicante. Spectacular viaducts were built over rivers and ravines and long tunnels were bored through the towering mountains. This railway line was never used and now lends itself perfectly to a beautiful hiking or cycling route. You can enjoy these technical feats on a challenging, partially asphalted route with a fairly steep gradient.
