Vantage point & Rio De Aguas walking and hiking route

Walk Instructions

Start Point

From HPB reception walk down to the site road. Turn right, heading towards Alfaix bridge.

1. Before reaching the bridge turn sharp left to follow the minor road descending towards the main rambla. Cross the tributary Rio Jauto at the concreted ford (usually dry) and continue along the minor road.

2. As the road bends to the right cross into the cleared area and follow the track to the right, along the bed of the rambla. This excellent track stays fairly close to the stream (Rio Aguas) amidst dense vegetation, including gorse.

3. Bear left, leading into a gentle incline. Eventually you will reach two farm buildings. From this vantage point you gain a great overview of Alfaix and HPB.

4. Once you have enjoyed a short stop here, retrace your steps down to the road bend, (but not going on to). From this point you need to pick up the track in the other direction (from that which you originally came i.e. left from the corner).

5. 200 yards from the corner (or until you come across a cleared track cutting through the vegetation of the bed of the Rio de Aguas) from here go straight ahead. Stay with the main track at any junction (passing a washed up water tank on the left) until you reach an unsurfaced roadway. Now the orange groves are on the right. (For a view of the ruins of Alfaix Banos - old thermal baths, continue along the same track for a further 300m.)

6. To carry on with the route turn left at the roadway, rising up steadily to the right then soon bearing left, now joining a tarmac surface to pass a house on the right. The huge orange groves across the valley should be prominent on your left, offering spectacular views.

7. Finally, turn left at a ‘T’ junction, soon passing scattered dwellings at the fringe of Alfaix. Passing the HPB shop, turning right to return to reception. (Tip: follow the road all the way back, keeping left.)
