シエテ・アグアスの峡谷・トップ9

The trail was completely destroyed during the Dana, I did not manage to go up the barranco completely. I do not know how much time will pass before. The trail is retraced. Alternatively, coming from Chera, continue on the track, then at the junction take the track that goes up on the left, it then joins the path that goes up to Pico Ropé (on the right), which is a little damaged but can be followed without problem. (Updated December 2024).

I added pictures of the fountain and the barranco post la Dana. The fountain is half destroyed, the barranco has been completely submerged by strong waters, stones from the rocks, it is unrecognizable and the pretty stone basins have disappeared under the river pebbles. Water in places where there was none, no more water where there was before...

The fountain has no water in summer.

Complicated path that connects the GR7 with Cinco Pinos through a ravine created by the Reatillo River. The Reatillo River, the main tributary of the Turia on its right bank, is a modest mountain course subject to the Mediterranean rainfall regime with rapid and violent floods caused by torrential rains, which alternate with strong dry spells that leave its bed dry. Its flow is regulated by the Buseo reservoir and since most of its route runs through uninhabited places, its waters are clean and clear. It receives the main contributions from the Hoz, Malén, Agua, Ermita, Arcolla and Ropé ravines. The various river courses present several waterfalls of singular beauty and considerable height, which here are called "chorroros".

Section of road that passes through the Chera-Sot de Chera Natural Park. It is perhaps one of the most colorful sections of the province of Valencia with an excellent paved surface and an entertaining zigzag running alongside the limestone gorge. Starting from Requena it will be downhill and on the way back an interesting climb!

The trail not indicated in Komoot however à some sign post indicate that it is an official trail, following the (dry) river bed within the barranco. This is really amazing, the rocks, the different vegetation offering flowers all along the year depending of the species… just reach the Fuentes de Papan (parking) and take the trail…

A great route over the river valley!

This well surfaced road climb of about 230m winds its way up to the shoulder pass into Sot de Chera. All the way you will be able to see great views of the Turia valley, and at the top, Sot de Chera is revealed nestling in its own gorge.
