La Serranía

This is one of the steepest regions in the Province. Crossed by the River Turia, it is striking for its rocky cliffs. The Benagéber reservoir is ideal for water sports, and there are also vast pine woods and
mountains which are perfect for hiking. The clarity of the night air in Aras de los Olmos makes it a
sought-after place for stargazing. It also has a rich artistic heritage. The old towns of Alpuente (with its walled area, the ancient Kingdom of Tayfa, which even minted its own money), Chulilla and Chelva
(where it is possible to walk through the Jewish and Moorish quarters known as Benacacira),
magnificent Castles like that of Chulilla, and striking monuments such as the Roman aqueduct of Peña
Cortada, in Calles.
