Itinerary description
We started this walk from the parking place, situated below the Ermita de los Santos de la Piedra and the Museo de l'Arros.
After 400 metres alongside the rice fields the track becomes a bit of a scramble over the rocks and the track is not always visible apart from the wite/blue markings that indicate the way.
When you get to the level track again there will be a long stretch of walking through the rice fields and all the time you will have good views of the fields of course but also of the mountain ridges at the border of the plains.
When we got to the CV 503 we followed the white/blue markings for a while and then turned left to go to the beach of El Dosel and walked to the Faro del Cullera. You could walk on further along the beach where we turned right to go to the road that leads up to the Faro de Cullera and you would still easily get to this road.
From the Faro de Cullera you have some wonderful views, especially in the direction of the Montgó ridge and the ridge on which the Observatoria Forestal Montduver is situated at 800 metres.
We then walked back to the roundabout and from there took the cycling track alongside the CV 503 past the Ermita San Lorenzo and from there followed the blue/white markings again to Urbanizacion Bonavista. From this place you will have a very nice view on the rice fields and the Ermita de los Dantos de Piedra/Rice Museum.
To get to this Ermita follow the blue/white markings on the rocks and you will find a lovely rest point there.
