Between Bunol and Valencia there are not too many alternatives in terms of cycle paths. There are a few paths just before Valencia that will take you easily into the city.

Section of road to go up to the port of El Gabaldón linking the city of Chiva with Gestalgar. A very picturesque route and not very physically demanding.

It is a medieval fortress of Muslim origin built on Roman remains, which is located on a hill overlooking the town of Shiva and was part of the defensive ensemble of the town of Valencia, controlling its communications with the interior. The castle is located on a flat, elongated platform at the top of the hill, adapting to the terrain in a north-south direction. The fortress consisted of three defensive lines and although it is in ruins, there are remains of canvases on the wall and a tower, built with tapial. Two parts can be distinguished, one of them, the seloquia is located in the highest part, and where reusing the remains of the fortress, a hermitage was built in the eighteenth century.
