Hiking
Vall d’Uixó has an important network of trails, among which two approved short-distance trails stand out:
- PR-V-164: which passes through Muslim towers, unique fountains of the municipality and other buildings of old agricultural uses.
- PR-V-241: which starts from the Sant Josep area, where the Sant Josep Caves are located, and ascends to the summit of Pipa, the most emblematic mountain in the town.
In addition to these two trails, there are other hiking routes in La Vall d’Uixó that, besides sport and nature, offer heritage attractions such as Muslim towers and castles or traditional structures like the architecture of dry stone, recently declared Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO.

It is a trail that runs along the remains of the XYZ Line fortificationBuilt in 1938 by the Republican government in its attempt to halt the advance of the rebel troops during the so-called Levante Offensive, this easy trail, especially recommended for families, allows us to travel back in time through history.
