Coastal Casting Route

-

  • Duration: 02 hours - 00 minute
  • Distance: -
  • Difficulty: medium-low

This route follows part of an old cattle track that ran along the entire coast of Villajoyosa, from the Malladeta cove to the Aguiló tower. Every winter the herds of the mountains of l'Alcoià came down to the town in search of a warmer place and new pastures. 
 
The section belonging to this route runs parallel to the coast. Here you can enjoy beautiful landscapes of cliffs that cut into the sea, bays where you can cool down and different samples of marine relief as the Cala Fonda, the Punta Plana or Punta de l'Aigüera. 
 
On this route you can also see an old police station headquarters of the Carabineros Force built between 1829 and 1897. The carabineros were in charge of watching over the coasts to prevent the smuggling of products, which is why the barracks are located in places with excellent views of the coast. At the end of this route you can continue your visit to the Torre del Aguiló (Way to the Watchtower of the Aguiló).
