- Route the Camí de la Colina del Montgó. It is a simple route, round trip, just over 12 km and with little slope. You will love to enjoy the views it offers and a unique environment, which has been declared a Natural Park for decades.
- Route La Vía Verde del Serpis. It is round trip and you will have to overcome about 200 meters of elevation gain. It is a little more complicated than the previous route, but it is still accessible to almost everyone. It is a route of great beauty, which runs along the banks of the Serpis River and is surrounded by mountains. Note that it has some tunnels, which are not illuminated.
- Cases de Bèrnia Route. It starts from Xalo, lasts 36 kilometers and has an elevation gain of 700 meters. In this case, it is a route for experts, with a relatively high difficulty. The asphalt is quite irregular, which complicates the walk, but in exchange you can enjoy a landscape full of charm and contemplate Calpe and its famous Peñón de Ifach.
- El Fondo Natural Park Route. After a somewhat complicated route, let’s go to a fairly simple one, with little unevenness and with a round trip of 16 km. El Fondo is a Natural Park located between Elche and Crevillente, which has some easy trails.
- Route the Greenway Agost-Maigmó. It is a complicated route, since it has about 44 km round trip and about 400 meters of elevation gain. Another difficulty is that you will face several tunnels, unlit and in some cases quite long. In addition, you will cross two large viaducts for the railroad that were never used.
- Route the Marjal de Pego-Oliva. We finish the route with another easy option. It is a circular route of 16 km and without slopes. It is also located in a Natural Park and is a good option even to go with children.
