From the Vall to the Mariola
First stage of the cycle tourism journey that will take us to Bocairent from the Ontinyent Tourist Office located in the Palau de la Vila. This itinerary is full of surprises: it will allow us to know places as emblematic and loved by the inhabitants of Ontinyent as are the Pou Clar and the Ponce pathways to the refuge of hunters. We will know a part of the Mariola mountain range that, although geographically not belonging to the Vall, is administratively. And we will also discover Bocairent, the architectural jewel of the region and one of the most charming villages of the Valencian Community, for unknown access for many tourists arriving by vehicle: the descent down Calvary from the hermitage of the Holy Christ to the medieval core of the town. To complete this first stage that can be short for one day, we have lengthened it by the Mariola mountain in order to enjoy this aspect, kinder and humanized, such as the hermitage and the Pla de Santa Bรกrbara, the Font Mariola, the Mariola campsite, the Pinatell and the great farmhouses that surround the small valley where the Vinalopรณ river has its birth.
