Great route - relaxed even for beginners :)

Some steeper climbs but lovely scenery - mountain vistas and dappled pine forest paths

Climb to the monastery

Centennial monastery, center of rest and prayer for believers.

Spectacular 360 degree views allowing you to appreciate the town of Gilet with the coast of Sagunto in the background, the Monastery of Santo Espíritu and the Sierra Calderona. Without a doubt it is worth reaching the cross to be rewarded with the panoramic views. The path is somewhat technical, especially starting from the road that leads to the Monastery at the height of the Santo Espiritu urbanization and if you decide to go this path it is best to go up towards the cross, the descent will be very technical and not at all pleasant. The loop can be closed by ending at the Monastery and from here you can also do a round trip along the same path, less technical with shorter sections than coming the other way. Whichever way you do it, once up here enjoy the beautiful views!

Beautiful views towards the coast of Sagunto from this panoramic point. You can get here by following the Calderona path that runs along the top of the Peña de Guaita, or take a more challenging and adventurous shortcut by climbing using chains from the forest track that leads to Picaio.
