Relief The most outstanding aspect is the Puig Campana (1410 m.), a truly remarkable mountain feature in the Marina Baixa region. This mountain is of a limestone nature, formed by
materials from the Jurassic period raised as a result of the force exerted by the Triassic saline elements located at the base. Other orographic elements of importance in the area are the mountains of Els Castellets, a limestone array constituted by materials from the Cretacic. The zone’s drainage basin is mainly formed by the Atxero, the Barranc del Xarquer and the Barranc de l’Arc rivers.
Itinerary The trail spreads across the territories of the municipalities of Finestrat, Benimantell and Sella. The route starts off in Finestrat by an asphalted road leading to the rest area of La Font del Molí. The journey continues bordering the east wall of the Puig Campana. A dirt road begins before crossing the Atxero river, and once we cross it, the trail ascends to arrive at Coll de Sacarets. From this spot we will make our way to the locations of Mas de Sacarets and Mas del Secretari, continuing toward the shady side of Tafarmats. Finally, we will pass next to the shelter of Font de l’Arc and we will cross the Barranc de l’Arc where we will find another asphalted road leading us to Sella.
