El Poble Nou de Benitatxell
This route is a round trip along the cliffs of Teulada and Benitatxell. During the walk, you can see several small “cave shelters” built using the dry stone technique and attached to the rocks, dating from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Along the way, you get to visit Cala Llebeig, a cove of moderate size but great beauty where you can see a group of small buildings used by fishermen. Finally, the route ends in Cala Moraig, located in El Poble Nou de Benitatxell. This is a beautiful cove with gravel and turquoise waters, located between some cliffs where you can also see the enigmatic Cova dels Arcs.
The route begins along Camí de la Viuda - Carrer Canari (Teulada-Moraira), where you can see an information panel regarding the route. Head southeast and very soon you enter the ravine known as Barranc de la Viuda. From here, follow the path carved out by the flow of the water itself. Halfway down the descent, Barranc de la Viuda links up with another ravine called Barranc del Garsibà, descending until the cove known as Cala Llebeig. From here, return to the SL-CV 50 trail and continue up a steep slope until you reach the cave called Cova del Morro del Bou, at an altitude of approximately 120 metres above sea level. Continue advancing along the line of cliffs, with fantastic views of the coastline and the chance to see the northern part of Cap de la Nau. Along the route you can inspect three caves, called Cova de Pepet del Morret, Cova del Ti Domingo de l'Abiar and Cova de les Morretes. This trail ends on the road which goes down to Cala Moraig, where you can see a signpost. Follow the road until you reach the information panel, which is where the route ends.
