Tucked away in the mountains of the Marina Alta, Vall de Gallinera is one of the Costa Blanca’s most scenic and peaceful cycling routes. The name literally means “Valley of the Chickens” — 🐓🐔 — a nod to the valley’s Moorish past, when this fertile land was known for its farms and poultry. These days, the valley is all about cherries. In spring, the hills burst into bloom with white cherry blossoms — an incredible sight on two wheels. By May and June, the trees are full of ripe, sweet cherries, and local farmers sell them fresh from roadside stalls. 🍒 The route winds through eight tiny villages, like Benissili, Alpatró, and Benirrama, connected by quiet mountain roads with gentle gradients, flowing curves, and spectacular views.

The first descent of 300m via a large section of the 6800 steps, brings you to the first barranco, Rio Girona

BEAUTIFUL QUIET AREA WITHOUT LOUD TRAFFIC...QUIET AREA

Beautiful valley with little traffic

Interesting area. The entrance fee for jubilados is only 3 euros. For that you get a beautiful spectacle offered.

Can imagine this used to be a really nice natural swimming place. Now it feels more like a theme park including big parking spaces surrounding it full of cars and busses

Definitely do it. Walking in the riverbed is not boring at all and the cave is the ultimate experience.

The visit consists of a tour of a 1.5 km long circuit along the course of the Algar River (“cave” in Arabic) to see the landscape resulting from the karstic modeling of the limestone rock: the spectacular waterfalls; the many springs that gush out of the rock; the "tolls" (pools of water) where you can take refreshing baths in pure and crystalline waters, formerly considered a "source of health"; the old dam, the imposing canal and the hundred-year-old ditches still in use today.
