| Observations |
Approach by car :
From Alcora we headed towards Lucena on the CV-190. Just before reaching the town of Foya, there is the possibility of changing direction and we take a narrower road (asphalted road) that appears on the left with indications of Alcora dam (embassament d'Alcora). We continue along the road and when we reach the house of the Hydrographic Confederation of Júcar, just at the end of the stone fence on the left and metal on the right, there is an asphalt track on the left, on a first section with some asphalt and then land, which leads us to an area with chalets and a small esplanade with a couple of olive trees, where about 5-6 cars fit. This is the parking
Approach to the beginning ferrata :
The approach is very simple, we enter the road between the chalets, with PR marks (yellow and white), this road is dirt and is normally cut to the passage of cars with a small T-shaped barrier, After a first section between the chalets, it descends steeply towards the riverbed, we cross it through an asphalt bridge and arrive at the Old Mill of the Count of Aranda.
The rock in front of the mill is the via ferrata, it is accessed from the left of the rock.
Description of the Ferrata :
It is a very short and vertical ferrata, it has a continuous 30-meter vertical section and then softens until you reach the zip line, in case you do not want to do it you can avoid it by a horizontal section that leads us to the path of descent (very vertical) and back to Molí
Return :
You can return to the zip line, and then down to access the rappel 20 meters and down the path. Or without zip line, on the right side of the ferrata, along a fairly steep path that takes us back to the mill
