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.

The castle, which is not particularly worth seeing, dates back to the Almohad period and was built between the 10th and 12th centuries. But the view is very beautiful.

From the heart of Concetaina you can see the tower that remains of the castle that dominated the town. This vibrant town is nestled in the valley of the Alcoy River and is ideal for a break if you are on a tour around here.

This point is a great viewpoint. Below is the figure of the castle tower and in the background the valley. The Castillo de Carrícola rises on a rock above the town. A trail leads to the remains of the wall and the high tower through the beautiful ravine of the Castellar.

Wear suitable footwear, as there are quite steep steps and loose ground.

The views from the castle are spectacular.

The 12th century castle crowns the mill from where you can get stunning views of the valley and the mountains that surround it. Unfortunately, it was destroyed during the War of Castile in the 14th century. At present, you can distinguish, in some of its walls, the arrow slits that were used to shoot with crossbows during the war. Inside what would be the castle, you can find a well-preserved cistern.
