This linear route is 3 km long.

The route leads you to the cave art shelter of Benialí, which is considered of great value and relevance. All the prehistoric styles that passed through the area are represented on this site: schematic, Levantine and macro-schematic.

The trail starts in Benialí and you have to continue walking until you reach the riverbed of the River Gallinera. Keep walking along the path that runs next to the riverbed until you begin to go uphill in an area where there are fields with orange trees and you get to the sunny side of the mountain range known locally as Serra de l'Almirant.

Continue walking along a clearly marked path until you get to a crossroads where you have to take the path on the right. Ascend as you advance and, at a certain point, you come across Tio Alberto's corral.

Continue climbing along the same path and soon you reach a point where it starts to descend to the bottom of the ravine called Basses del Racó. Begin to descend until you reach the rock shelter with the cave paintings.

You can see that they are protected by an iron fence which guarantees their integrity. From this point, continue descending until you reach the bottom of the ravine, following the path that you are already on, until you reach a channel cut into the stone that was made to collect rainwater.

Continue descending until the last part of the ravine and until you reach the end, so as to then continue walking in an easterly direction and thereby return to the starting point of this route along the same path that you started out on.
