Visiting the Cave Paintings in the interior of the Marina Alta is a very good option to admire the landscape, connect with nature and stroll through the streets and squares of Castell de Castells, Vall d'Ebo and Vall de Gallinera.

La propuesta es realizar el trayecto a pie ya que la mayoría del trayecto discurre por pistas no asfaltadas y es una opción muy interesante para contemplar la naturaleza en esta área montañosa de la Marina Alta.
Short sections of the route will be on secondary roads on which there are vehicles and therefore special care should be taken.
In the most mountainous area of the Marina Alta, on the one hand in the sanctuary of Pla de Petracos and on the other hand in the shelters of Benirrama and Benialí, there are a series of cave paintings of excellent value.
The Sanctuary of Pla de Petracos, located in the municipality of Castell de Castells, is one of the most outstanding examples of Macro-schematic Art in Europe and has been declared an Asset of Cultural Interest and a World Heritage Site.
The Benirrama and Benialí shelters contain the three prehistoric pictorial styles: Levantine, schematic and, above all, macro-schematic.
In this route you can visit the cave paintings, visit the villages where they are located and admire the immensity of the landscape. It is a route with a considerable slope, so it is recommended for adults with a good physical preparation.
The gastronomy of the towns and villages along this route is linked to the products that are or were grown in this fully agricultural area. Vegetables and seasonal fruit give rise to traditional dishes such as "cocas", rice dishes and desserts that delight the most demanding palates.
Con las elaboraciones tradicionales tanto saladas como dulces el visitante podrá descubrir un sinfín de platos con los que conocer también la cultura culinaria de la Marina Alta.
