Benidoleig extending an old favourite
A very pleasant walk, mainly on good tracks and paths with some on quiet roads. Lovely views from the highest point.

Really nice walk, particularly as it shares much of its route with the recently inaugurated PR-CV445 Sender del Seguili (http://www.benidoleig.es/benidoleig-inaugura-el-sender-del-seguili/), and in one or two places you can take little stretches of the PR-CV445 instead of walking along the road. The town council seems to have put a lot of work into improving the walk and making it interesting through many information boards along the route. Unfortunately, however, the information is generally just in Valencian, but you can get the gist if you know some Castellano. Definitely recommended though.
I agree with Robbie. We followed the PR-CV455 entirely. It is well signposted and way marked in the usual yellow and white. The signage probably indicates a clockwise circuit. If you need a gps file google PR-CV455. Robbie’s link no longer seems to work.
Webmaster note. Fair comment, but of course the original route was not intended to be identical to this newly created PRCV.
