The temperature was just below 30 degrees and that was fine for this walk, which was most of the time in the sun. The first part of the walk was more challenging than the second part. In this case that was good because of the temperature. There were no other people taking this walk, so it was very quiet. There were some nice views to other places like Xativa.

The Quatre Camins quarry, also known as the Llosar dels Francs, is an archaeological site 500m away. of the Roman villa, known as Villa Cornelius, located in Partida dels Franks. These are quarries that, according to some scholars (such as the archaeologist Miquel Ramon Martí), could be considered the most important of the Roman period in the Iberian Peninsula. The commercialization of the marble extracted from these quarries was the main source of wealth for the Iunii family, of the Galeria Tribe, owners of the plantation and the Cornelius town. The transport of the stone was done through the carriladas, that is to say, grooves in the rocks that channeled the wheels of the carts, which can still be seen on the road that leads from Énova to Barxeta. The planter has preserved marks that show that the marble was extracted forming rectangular blocks. These large blocks were transported in oxcarts to the town, where the work of stonemasons or stonemasons continued, who would fragment them and shape them into specific pieces, according to the order that needed to be served. This marble was used to make tombstones, monuments of different sizes and even slabs to pave the Roman theater in Zaragoza or the plinths of the Romanesque door of the Cathedral of Valencia.

Beautiful panoramic views of the entire region. The hermitage of Santa Anna is located on the so-called peak of the mountain of Santa Anna (at about 345 m above sea level), in the municipality of the town of Llosa de Ranes. The current construction dates from the 16th century, but there are reports from the 15th century (possibly before 1377). From the hermitage you can see great views of the entire Ribera del Xúquer and the Costera region. In fact, on clear days you can see part of the Mediterranean or, even, the border of the Valencian Community with Castilla-La Mancha-, both from the viewpoint next to the chapel itself and from the first viewpoint that it is under the temple, where there is a huge wind rose carved in stone with indications of the different cardinal points and towns of Valencia, the Valencian Community and some cities in Spain.

It is a beautiful and peaceful place. The views are spectacular and the surroundings are worth it, the entrance to the castle is two euros.
