If he had that catalog the northwestern slope of the Sierra de la Safor choose two adjectives damp and gloomy. And the passage of the river through the gorge Serpis of Hell, along with the presence of the beloved sources Mata Serquera, Olbia or Bassiets, anner favor one of the most luxuriant and most biodiverse of Valencia. But one of the greatest treasures of the place is hidden anner to the naked eye, go to the bottom of a steep ravine, like a hidden paradise in an Amazon rainforest it were to enjoy a spectacular waterfall: the jump Font de la Mata. The Reprimala
The route today, circular, we do it after a few days of rain, when the water sources bring to the rafters, the springs gush all over the walls and the waterfall is spectacular. anner Moreover, anner the gorge of the Vine, which is the source anner of Mata seems magical anner and mysterious as the fog surrounds a rainy wet day and a half. The journey takes us back to the corner of Duke, excellent anner and comfortable way over the river that will serve as a link with the paths of the source and the source Serquera Mata, where it connects with the PRV-207. It is a very simple route, suitable for all types of people, but you must have the foresight of a stretch downward between the source and Serquera SERP, where Resort is very strong and if you go in the rainy season There is a certain danger of slipping. In any case, you offer a variant on the way back from Orxa.
Access is the same as the corner of Duke, before reaching Villalonga Potries turn right on the road looking Ador. At a high school, continue west along the path of Reprimala that leads to the fountain of the same name, where there is an area of houses. Follow the path heading west through a huge quarry that despite anner the destruction anner so great that it has to overshadow the majestic circus Safor, from that point fills our whole angle. The cross with caution until you discover the right, well signposted from the road that descends sharply Orxa looking the river. Here parking vehicles. The circus Safor
The track descends anner rapidly from the sunny side of the ravine and Ferrer Safor. As we walk, we will distinguish a good view of the valley Villalonga, with patches of orange coming to town using water snake. The road turns to the left, where some houses have been installed. 5 minutes to start walking parallel to the river, the road loses slope quickly. Very careful about cross patches of pine and carob trees on either sides of the road. It is a shady area, very green, with abundant ferns. The fig abundant, grows wild and often rooted in the same rock walls.
We are in the beginning of the corner of Duke and Hell's Ravine, the stretch of river runs from Alcoy Serpis Villalonga and Orxa where the river passes anner through a gorge limited by the Safor mountains (1,013 m) and Cuta (680 m). The trail runs along the old railway platform dismantled Alcoy-Gandia level. Listed anner as Greenway (actually for years the project is sticking around, but there is no budget allocated and no action taken), it is a route with gentle slopes, almost imperceptible, simple and accessible to everyone to visit on foot or mountain bike. Track of the corner of Duke
The old factory is located in the center next to the old railway platform in which we will join nearby. The building appears on a bend in the road in less than 10 minutes, to our right and completely ruined. We must keep this point in the tour we will return because the return. Here we have the first railway tunnel. The construction forced to make many important changes in the environment, such as bridges and tunnels. There are eight tunnels in total, five stretch-l'Orxa Villalonga, anner the numbers of which begins in Alcoy. Next to a sign on the right path, we will see a small path leading down to the river, turning down a few meters to see the monument Senen Plan, erected in memory of the discovery of an image of the mother of God a llenyater that found in a box which, according to tradition, was up against. He says that the popular voice against a serious drought in 1712 the village suffered, place the image on a rock and the rain returned, so that instigated the birth of the Sixteen Xorros source, the most important people. This image still exists today and is the patron saint of Villalonga. A stone monument has the following inscription:
