Serpis River Greenway

Also known as "The train of the English".
At the end of the 19th century, as a result of the industrial development of the regions of Alcoy and the County, the English company Alcoy and Gandia Railway and Harbor Company Limited built a railway that linked Alcoy with the port of Gandia for the transport of first materials and industrial products from those counties, mainly textiles and steel. Known as "the train of the English", this railway operated for 76 years until on April 15, 1969 it made its last journey due to its low profitability.Although apparently only part of the popular memory, the world of black and white photographs and the battles of the older ones, the spirit of the beloved Xitxarra is still represented in the old stations, in the monumental locomotives of Gandia and Alcoi, at the Almoines Museum, on the Via Verda del Serpis or on the only stretch of track that is still standing, the Grau, the same one where the first steam locomotive passed 118 years ago.

Landscapes of great beauty, having the river as a companion.
It should be borne in mind that an important part of this stretch is made of loose stone (from the old station of L'Orxa), which makes it difficult to walk in the mode of cycle tourism.
