Metropolitan Green Ring: Nature on wheels

This circular corridor of 56 kilometers connects the orchard with the sea through natural parks and historical paths. Designed for cyclists and pedestrians, this green belt brings the cultural and landscape heritage of the region closer in a sustainable way. Along the route, there are information points and rest areas with shaded bike racks. Choose your section and enjoy nature!

Route 1: Southern Orchard (Pinedo - Aldaia)

It starts by the sea, at Pinedo beach, which you can easily reach by bike from the City of Arts and Sciences via the designated lane. Take the opportunity to go for a dip or visit the L'Albufera Natural Park. From here, the route enters the orchard among rice fields and vegetable crops. It is a journey to the past where you will discover the millennial network of irrigation ditches and architectural gems like the Moret and Saboner farmhouses. An authentic rural environment of reeds and mud, where time seems to stand still.

Route 2: The Interior and the Turia Natural Park

This section moves through an agricultural landscape dominated by the Quart-Faitanar irrigation ditch until reaching Quart de Poblet. Here, the Ring connects with the Turia River Park Way, a natural oasis just a step away from the city. You can get lost among riverside forests or meditate on the riverbanks. If you prefer to start here, you can easily arrive by Metro or via the bike lane from Cabecera Park.

Route 3: Northern Orchard (Quart de Poblet - Meliana)

Heading north, the landscape opens up with the Sierra Calderona on the horizon. In Paterna, don't miss the Cuevas de la Torre, unique Moorish dwellings carved into the earth. The route crosses the Palmaret and Carraixet ravines between orange and olive groves. After passing through Moncada and its Royal Irrigation Ditch, you can connect with the Vía Xurra in Meliana or end with an horchata by the sea.

Route 4: The Coastline (Port Saplaya - Pinedo)

A refreshing journey along the shores of the Mediterranean. Enjoy the sea breeze passing through the beaches of Patacona, Malvarrosa, and Cabanyal. This is the perfect section to combine sport with gastronomy: taste some seafood tapas in the old fishermen's quarter or a rice dish in the Marina of Valencia. The perfect finishing touch before closing the circle at Pinedo beach.
