A day in Chulilla without the queue for the hanging bridges. In the morning a guide puts you on the rock of the Turia canyon, with the rope secured from above; at midday you eat in the village and in the afternoon you climb the castle to look down on the walls you have touched.

## The day, step by step

8:00 · Set off. From Valencia on the A-3, about 60 km. Park at the entrance to the village; do not take the car into the old town.

9:00 · Introduction to climbing. Serranía Aventura sends the meeting point three days beforehand. About a 20-minute approach and easy grade IV routes on top rope, with all the equipment, climbing shoes included. Four hours, from about age 5 and €55 per person in an open group, with a €10 discount for under-13s.

14:00 · El Pozo. The hostel's restaurant, behind the square, opens to the public at weekends and on public holidays with ajoarriero, olla churra and rice dishes. Book ahead. Bring cash: there is no cash machine in Chulilla.

16:30 · The castle. A short, steep climb to the crag. At the top you see the meander of the Turia and the canyon walls.

17:30 · Head home. In Valencia around 18:30.

## With children

The introduction takes children from about age 5 and each climbs at their own pace. If they are tired afterwards, swap the castle for the La Peñeta viewpoint, a step from the village.
