• Aimed at AlumniUV Premium / AlumniUV Basic / General public

Immerse yourself in one of the few unspoilt hideouts of the Valencian coast. You are invited to go through a coastal path where the Mediterranean vegetation clings to the low cliffs and the pebble coves sculpted by the sea. Not only is it a walk, but it also is an opportunity to connect with the environment, understand fragility, and discover its preservation challenges.

The event will finish in Alcalà de Xivert, where we will enjoy a fellowship meal and a guided visit to discover its rich cultural legacy. A comprehensive experience for restless minds and nature lovers.

Recommendations: the hike is not very inclined and it is suitable for everyone who is used to walking. Since the path is stony, it is convenient to bring comfortable sport shoes. Besides, water, lunch, sunscreen, and a cap or hat should be brought.
