Team Tossal offers easy to moderate hikes (3-3.5 hrs), exploring local trails with time to pick up the kids from school!
Join us for another outing with our hiking and discovery group — this time exploring the beautiful Vall de Pop, walking between Alcalalí and Jalón (Xaló). As always, Team Tossal walks are designed for the casual hiker: easy-paced, scenic, and sociable, with plenty of time to enjoy the landscape, local history, and good conversation. And yes — we’ll finish with a relaxed get-together at the end.
🌿 Vall de Pop Route
This gentle route takes us through the heart of the valley, following quiet tracks, farmland, and traditional paths that connect two of the area’s most characterful villages. With minimal elevation gain, it’s all about enjoying the journey rather than pushing the pace.
Highlights of the Route
⛪ Hermitage of Sant Joan de Mosquera (Alcalalí)
A peaceful rural chapel surrounded by open countryside — a lovely and atmospheric way to begin our walk.
🚶 Camí de les Mosqueres
A classic agricultural track winding through orchards and fields, offering wide valley views and an easy, steady walking surface.
🏘️ Jalón (Xaló) Church
A short visit into the village brings a change of scenery and a glimpse of local life before we head back into the countryside.
🏰 Torre d’Alcalalí
The iconic medieval tower overlooking the village and valley — a true local landmark and a fitting highlight near the end of the route.
🌸 Early Almond Blossom (MAYBE)
If the weather has been kind, you might catch the very first almond trees in bloom along the route. A delicate hint of spring in the Vall de Pop — but don’t hold out too much hope this time of year.
