Tossal Verd via Orbeta from Benidoleig
The route takes us above Benidoleig before taking good paths towards Orba. On reaching the area of Orbetta we gently climb to the ridge above the Orba valley and head back towards Benidoleig. There are a couple of sections where the path could be a bit scratchy. You will be greeted by great views of the Orba valley and beyond along this hidden gem of a route.

Not a bad walk, but when we did it in Nov 2016 it was more than a little scratchy in parts. In fact, near the ruined cottage at the head of the valley there was one part where the path was completely obscured by bushes and you had to push through it. Definitely one for the long trousers.
The path has now been heavily cut back (Nov 18) and is much better than when Robbie walked the path. It can still be a little scratchy in places.
