Barranc de l'Infern
A Moorish stone-stair hiking route in the Laguar Valley, with about 6,800 steps descending through the gorge, known as the 'cathedral of hikers.'
Barranc de l'Infern lies in the Laguar Valley about 25 km southwest of Dénia, a deep gorge carved by the Vargornia River. The classic PR-CV 147 loop starts from the village of Fontilles and follows stone steps built in the Moorish era up and down through the gorge. The full route covers about 15 km and takes 6 to 7 hours, with roughly 6,800 steps, and is hailed as the 'cathedral of hikers.' You can also walk only the first section down to the gorge floor and turn back, which takes about 2 to 3 hours. The trail is steep and exposed with no shade, so wear hiking boots and carry plenty of water, and avoid it after rain when it is slippery. Free of charge.
