You step off the air-conditioned van and the canyon takes over: sheer limestone walls rise, pine needles scent the air, and the river ahead dares you to follow its course. The trail threads along a gorge carved by the Mijares, switching between shaded forest tracks and open ledges that reward each climb with a new sweep of valley and sky.

You step off the air-conditioned van and the canyon takes over: sheer limestone walls rise, pine needles scent the air, and the river ahead dares you to follow its course. The trail threads along a gorge carved by the Mijares, switching between shaded forest tracks and open ledges that reward each climb with a new sweep of valley and sky.
Geology here is honest—limestone folded and scoured into narrow gorges and small plunge pools fed by an underground spring. Locals have long prized the warm, mineral-rich waters; the Montanejos springs keep a steady 25 °C (77 °F), a temperate reward after three hours on rocky, often uneven ground. Cultural life in the valley centers on small villages and family-run restaurants where simple, hearty Castellón fare follows a day outdoors.
Practically: the full program runs 7–8 hours and includes private transport. Hikers choose a longer 9 km circular (about 3–3.5 hrs) or a 6 km option (2 hrs); between June and September only the shorter route is offered, and in July–August you can swap the short walk for a swim beneath a waterfall. Expect uneven footing, short steep sections, and riverside scrambling.
Bring sturdy shoes with grip, at least 1 L of water, layered clothing for morning chill, and swimwear for the springs. Time your visit midweek or early morning to avoid crowds at the pools, and respect local rules—no soaps in the water and leave the riparian plants intact. This day pairs straightforward mountain hiking with an unmistakable, restorative finish in thermal blue water.
