The main attraction of Valencia’s La Serranía region – Roman aqueduct in Chelva, dating more than 2000 years back, nowadays accessible on foot. The aqueduct gives you the opportunity to walk through tunnels carved in rock, cross impressive bridges, and admire unique scenery of the area. Chelva itself and its historical neighborhoods deserves a visit as well. Take a more relaxed stroll through the town, admiring the old Moorish, Jewish, Christian and Arabic constructions.

Calles, Calles, Spain After 50 minutes of driving we will get to Calles - the beginning of our trip. First, we'll have a coffee in a local bar and start the hike. The initial 3 kilometers are a very gentle ascent until we get closer to the aqueduct. Here we will start going up the single track trail, while gaining a bit more elevation. Thankfully, this ascent is quite short and soon we will be at the Peña Cortada aqueduct. The path takes us straight through it, as we make our way through the tunnels carved out in rock. Eventually we will get to the bridge - the most impressive part of the aqueduct, which we will cross to get to the other side. 120 minutes
Acueducto de la Pena Cortada, Chelva, Spain Chelva’s Ruta del Agua or water route, which can be done both from Chelva and from Calles, is a tourist itinerary of great interest, with a circular layout that combines nature and culture in a pleasant walk of approximately two hours with some rest areas along the path. On the way, you will never stop hearing the murmur of the water from numerous springs, sources, ditches and especially the Tuéjar river, which is also sometimes called Chelva river. 60 minutes

Leaving our hotel from the old part of Valencia,we were picked up by our guide Dmitri and drove to the town of Chelva where we started the walk. Approx 15 km round trip , the walk was moderate with some climbing before reaching the Roman Aqueduct. Take some water and a few snacks as it is quite tiring but worth the visit if you are interested in history. Dimitri was well experienced and informative. Some wonderful views and something different to do during your stay.

We were joined by a sweet stray dog who made the entire hike with us! Walking through the aquaduct was great. Enjoyed the views. Would have given 4-5 stars, but had hoped for more history or information. Emphasis clearly was on hiking. More physically demanding than anticipated, especially for those in 50’s. Would have been too nervous with child who might not be as careful about drop-offs/cliffs.

We have completed two walks with Dmitry, first the day hike to the Roman aqueduct and then a two day hike around Chelva. Both experiences were fantastic with prompt pickup at The Mestalla, comfortable transport to the mountains and great company on the hike and at dinner on the two day hike.
The hike locations are absolutely stunning. Highly recommended.
