The route begins in the charming village of Carrícola, in the Vall d'Albaida region of Valencia. From there, a circular route begins that gently ascends along rural roads and well-marked trails, surrounded by Mediterranean vegetation and cultivated fields. The most special feature of this route is the Biodivers project, an artistic and ecological initiative that has transformed the surrounding area into an open-air museum. Along the way, visitors encounter contemporary sculptures integrated into the landscape: a giant iron spider, spiral books, human faces in fountains, geometric structures, and other works that invite reflection on the relationship between humans and nature.

The Castell de Carrícola, also known as Castellet, is a historic and natural gem located in the municipality of El Palomar, in the Vall d'Albaida region of Valencia. It is an ancient Islamic fortification built between the 10th and 12th centuries, although the current tower was erected after the Christian conquest, around the mid-13th century. It has been declared a Site of Cultural Interest and has been restored to allow visitors to visit it, including access to its terrace, from where you can enjoy spectacular views of the region and the Bellús reservoir.
