Costa Blanca rentals > Jalon valley villa rentals
Located in the beautiful Pop valley, as the only exception in a rough terrain, is Jalón / Xaló. Its township spreads between the Sierra de la Solana and the Sierra de Bèrnia, on the boundary of the Marina Baixa.
Although the urban nucleus is fully situated in a valley the majority of the municipal term is spread among the mountains, the highest of which is the Serra de Bèrnia. Other peaks are the Solana, the Sierra del Ferrer and the Penyó de la Mica. Between mountains and caves, it is a municipality that has adapted to the conditions imposed upon it throughout history. Today it sits happily, shining and laborious between modernity and tradition. Always welcoming visitors who come from all around to visit the village of Jalón / Xaló, especially on Saturdays when, next to the river Xaló, one of the most popular antique markets of the Costa Blanca is held. Cultivated products shape the principal attractions of a gastronomy that also celebrates its own rice dishes "amb fesols i naps". Sausages, wine and desserts made with almond complete the culinary offer.
There are great natural enclaves in the term. The Sierra de Bernia, the Sierra del Ferrer, El Castellet and the Penyó de la Mica surround the municipality, offering all its natural beauty. A walk following the river Xaló leads to the natural site known as "l'Assut". Besides the Font de Cabanyes and the ruins of the "Fuerte" (the fort) there are other attractive excursions such as the Barranco del Curt and the Pas dels Bandolers.
PR-V7 BÈRNIA
Approx. duration: 3.5 hours. Total Km.: 8 Km. Degree of difficulty: Average-High
DESCRIPTION
Take the road from Jalón/Xaló to Bèrnia in a journey of 12 km. At the end of this road we will leave our cars in a pine grove next to the area known as Bancal Llarg, where the camping area is located. We will take the dirt track to the left until reaching the Font de Bèrnia (Bèrnia Spring) which has a constant volume throughout the year. To the upper left-hand side of the spring we will continue along the path regularly signposted by two parallel lines, one yellow and another white one (indicative of the PRV-7 Bèrnia).
This sloping path will take us to the walls of the crest, where we will find a small natural shelter with abundant humid vegetation, given that we are in the shady area. We will continue on our way, slightly steeper, until reaching the Forat (Hole), a natural open cavity in the rock that connects the two faces of the mountain, with a length of 20 metres and a minimum height of 1 metre, on the other side of the Forat we will make out a landscape opening out as far as the sea, completely different to the North face, highlighting emblematic mountains such as Aitana, Puig Campana, Ponoig and the Serra Gelada.
We will continue on our way towards the right along the west-facing hillside until reaching the Fort de Bèrnia (Bèrnia Fort), a fort constructed during the reign of Felipe II (Phillip II - 1562) to control and crush the revolts of the Moorish population. In the present day the remains of the vaults and of the moat walls are still to be seen. Before reaching the ruins of the Fort de Bèrnia at some 50 metres below our path there is a spring in the form of a drinking trough, the Font del Fort (Fort Spring), which might have water or not depending on the time of year. From the upper part of the Fort and continuing towards the west we will undertake the return journey to Les Cases de Bèrnia (The Houses of Bèrnia). The path gently rises to a small hillock, embarking on the descent along the track, always following the signs, until reaching our starting point once more, Les Cases de Bèrnia.
