On this trip, we will pedal through the southern defense by bicycle (from Valencia to Orihuela), it is a journey full of history and magical places where the Cid passed and lived very hard events in his second exile. This section of the Camino del Cid route is full of historical places that still today have their fortress on top.
The defense of the south begins in the capital of Turia, Valencia. And from there you get to Orihuela, passing through Xátiva, Ontinyent, Bocairent, Banyeres de Mariola, Villena or Elche in what is a beautiful historical and literary journey through natural parks, forests, marshes and Mediterranean mountains.
It is a hard journey, but if you are used to doing this type of trip, with patience, you can do it.
