Walks & bike routes
Along the river Segura and the Sierra de Ricote. Shared by both apartments. Bring water and comfortable shoes.
🚶On foot
Walking access to the spa
Easy · ~8 minHead to the path down to the river. Go down to the river Segura: you will see a wooden bridge. Without crossing it, keep right along the riverside path until you reach a paved street and continue left. In about 8 minutes you reach the spa entrance. In the car park you will see access to the lower floors: go down one floor to reception. You can reach the spa and have a drink even if you are not staying there.
Archena Playa (river beach)
Easy · ~15 min walk · river swimmingA river beach on the Segura where swimming is allowed, about a 15-minute walk away. A little further on is iPub, for a drink or a bite by the water.
Villanueva, Ulea & Ojós along the river
Moderate · riversideGo down to the river access and, once down, turn left following the whole course of the river Segura. At Villanueva, cross to the other side over the footbridge and continue on the far bank. After Ulea, follow the pipes of the Ulea weir and turn left towards the viewpoint and archaeological remains of Salto de la Novia; that road leads you to Ojós. There is also another route marked on Wikiloc to Ojós: about 7 km and around 1 h 30 each way (the same back if you return the same way).
Barranco del Pozo & Pico de los Almeces
Hard · ~4 h · lots of climbA tough route with plenty of elevation gain: bring plenty of water and allow about 4 hours. It is a 15-minute drive via Ricote, where you can grab something to eat or drink before or after. Park at the trailhead (room for 5-6 cars); if it is full, use the Casa Forestal de la Calera car park.
La Navela & Blanca
Drive there · ~15 minDrive (about 15 minutes) past the Ojós weir to the La Navela recreation area, the starting point for several routes. Make the most of it to visit Blanca and its Alto de Bayna viewpoint.
Loop around the El Mayés reservoir
Drive there · ~20 minA hidden gem 20 minutes away by car. A very quiet place for a silent walk surrounded by nature, with desert landscapes, views over pine forests and curious rock formations. Park in the area of the recreation ground and the chapel.
