Tips from the Community
Between the shade of the Mondúver and the constant sound of water, the Clot de la Font is one of those places that invite you to slow down and enjoy cycling without looking at the clock. This natural spring, where the Badell—a tributary of the Vaca river—is born, is located a few kilometers from the urban center of Tavernes de la Valldigna and is a regular stop for cyclists, hikers, and runners. The access combines agricultural paths and stretches surrounded by pine forests and Mediterranean vegetation, perfect for a gravel, MTB, or even a quiet road route. The area is part of the Ruta dels Sentits and stands out for its fresh atmosphere, the shade of the Ombria, and a historic white fountain over 160 years old, next to a small waterfall that makes this place one of the most special points in the Valldigna. There's always a cycling vibe here: groups setting off at dawn, quick stops to fill water bottles, or simply a perfect place to rest before continuing towards the Cova del Bolomor, the Castell de Marinyén, or the routes of the Mondúver. The stone tables, potable water, and the tranquility of the surroundings make it a mandatory stop for any route through the Safor. A small oasis between mountain, water, and paths. Ideal for stopping, breathing, and keeping on rolling.

The Garrofer spring is a spring where water, coming from the Agulles aquifer, flows happily through two pipes and is channeled to an adjacent washhouse. Despite the warning that the water is not potable (as it is not chlorinated or subject to any health control), thousands of Alzire residents travel up to thirteen kilometers and sometimes form long queues to fill their water jugs.

The bridge over the CV-50 between Carcaixent and Tabernes is finally operational, and you can now travel along the entire greenway without entering the CV-50, which was a danger.

It is part of the greenway that recovers the old layout of the "vineyard" between Carcaixent and Gandia.

Color in the city! Someone put a lot of effort into putting their idea of a facade design into practice. An eye-catcher even from a distance and it looks very good too!

Below the Umbria alta appears this fountain with a set of tables and shadows around it that offer a secluded and beautiful corner to stop if necessary, spend a good time.
