The climb has a good asphalt surface, without too much elevation change, and it is worth noting the existence of a detour via an unpaved road from kilometer 9.3 to Sumarcárcel, which we have discarded due to not knowing its condition, given the rains of the previous days.

I recommend enjoying the muixerangues in this square. The Minor Basilica of Sant Jaume is a cultural asset. It is located in the center of the town and occupies one of the sides of the Plaza Mayor. Its architecture is in the Renaissance style. It was built between 1550 and 1582 by Domingo Gamieta and had the collaboration of Juan d'Alacant and Juan Matalí. The Minor Basilica of Sant Jaume and its surroundings were proposed and cataloged as an asset of cultural interest, due to its great historical and architectural richness in 1980. It is where one of the most significant moments of the procession of the Virgin of Health is experienced, when the different dances that characterize this festival, declared intangible heritage of humanity, converge at its entrance. The muixerangues (human towers) that accompany the entrance of the Virgin Mary into the basilica are especially emotional, with their characteristic music of dolzaina and tabal.
