The route starts at the natural site of Sant Josep. After crossing the bridge, we take the path that goes to the left, known as the Cristal path (Senda de Cristal). After passing by the Cristal pool, we reach a crossroads with the path of Sant Antoni and Rincón de Montesinos, which ascends gently over a small hill. Although this section is narrower, it is comfortable and easy to walk. Along the way, we leave the hermitage of Sant Antoni on our right, while the landscape changes and wild vegetation begins to take over ancient farmlands.
Further on, we join a forest track for about a kilometer and a half. In this section, a downhill path appears on the left, which we follow towards the corrals and the Garrut spring. Going down the Garrut path, we first find an old dry-stone cistern (aljibe) and, shortly after, the Garrut corrals. Crossing the valley, we continue along the Font de Garrut path.
About five hundred meters ahead begins the Cagarrita path, which climbs more steeply until it connects with the Solanes path. From there, we go around the Rodeno mountain and continue along a short paved section until we find, on the right, the Aiguamolls path, which runs along the mountainside.
Shortly after, another narrower path appears, located between an almond grove and a bank: the Rodeno path. After reaching the highest part of the route, the trail begins to descend to a crossroads where we continue straight ahead on the Palmeralet path, also known as the Pipa or Collado de Garrut path, which leads to the Alto de la Pipa.
The descent begins on the eastern slope via a narrow but well-marked trail. A few meters down, we find a fork that we ignore to continue descending. As we progress, the slope becomes less steep until we reach Racó del Batlle, located at the bottom of the Sant Josep ravine.
From there, we simply follow the ravine to the right to return to the natural site of Sant Josep.

Total time: 02:39:38
We start our route at the Plaza de la Asunción and head up the street towards the ascent of the Turmón Ravine (Barranco del Turmón). From there, we take a paved track (PR-164), which we follow for approximately 1 km until we find a detour, where we take a dirt track that runs parallel to the Turmón Ravine.
We will follow the track without leaving it until its end, where we will find an old farmhouse (masía) and a small esplanade. If we continue along the path running parallel to the ravine, in about 500 meters we will reach the Estamero Mines.
Once the mines have been visited, we must return along the same path back to the esplanade. There, to the right of the farmhouse entrance, we will see an ascending path. We take it and, after walking about 40 meters, we must pay attention to turn northwest.
We will continue along a well-defined path until we reach a hillside where the Fronto Cistern (Aljibe de Fronto) is located. Although the vegetation practically covers it today, we will also find a signpost. At this point, we must head in the direction of Ereta.
Following that direction, about 1 km further on, we will reach the Corral de Turmo, an ideal place to take a break and eat something while enjoying the good shade in the area.
From there, we will descend via the well-known Hunters' path (senda de los Cazadores), a very clear and easy-to-follow trail. We must pay attention halfway down the descent, as we will find several side trails that we should ignore until we reach the track that goes up towards Sant de la Pedra.
Once on the track, all that remains is to walk down peacefully to the start of the route, passing by the characteristic Casota.

We climb for about 30 minutes until we reach a small hut with a sign reading «Sumet – Finca de Eduardo Sorribes».
From here we continue along the track for about five more minutes until we reach another fork. There we take an uphill path on our right. This stretch is best tackled patiently, as in little more than half an hour we will cover almost all of the route's elevation gain.
It is a demanding climb, but a very interesting one from a historical point of view, as on the way up we pass several trenches before reaching the summit of El Sumet.
Once at the top, in the Peña Migdia area, we can enjoy privileged views over the Vall d’Uixó, Alfondeguilla and much of the Sierra de Espadán.
We carry on until we reach an area of farmhouses known as the Coll de Aigualit. There we take the downhill track on our right and, about 200 metres further on, leave it to follow a path that runs halfway down the side of the ravine.
This path leads us to the bottom of the ravine and into the Vall Verda area. From there, we simply follow the riverbed until we reach the bridge next to the Carbonaire Health Centre.
From that point, all that remains is to retrace the urban stretch back to the starting point to complete the route.
