Free Nature Tour of Font Roja
Overview
The activity will begin next to the interpretation center, where I’ll introduce the park’s wildlife and ecosystems and show you various specimens from my biological collection to explain their functions, interesting facts, and the scientific context behind them.
During the hike, we’ll pass through holm oak forests, pine groves, and the wetland area of the Barranc de l’Infern. We’ll try to spot insects, birds, fungi, and wild plants, learning to identify them and understand their role in the ecosystem. We’ll pay special attention to birdsong, and if we’re lucky, we might spot vultures in flight or see Barbary sheep on the nearby rocky outcrops.
This tour is designed for anyone with a curiosity about nature. My goal is not only to show you the species of Font Roja, but also to help you understand why they are the way they are: their adaptations, behaviors, and history.
On arrival
The meeting point will be the recreational area at the Font Roja Sanctuary, next to the Natural Park’s Visitor Center.
From Alcoy, take the CV-797 highway toward Font Roja / Sanctuary.
Continue along the mountain road for about 11 km, always following the signs for Font Roja Natural Park.
When you reach the sanctuary area, you’ll find a large, free public parking lot located approximately 50 meters from the Visitor Center.
The activity will begin in the plaza in front of the Visitor Center, next to the picnic area and the fountain. It’s very easy to spot, as it’s the park’s main visitor reception area.
