These riuraus were used to dry the raisins (laid out on top of reed trays), protecting them in case of rain or moisture. Riuraus are porches with semicircular arches, usually located at the front of the house, although there are some independent ones and others attached to one side of the house.

The places of interest presented (the riuraus) are private property. It is advisable to observe them from the road, without trespassing.

The route starts in the square known as Plaza del Rei Jaume I and, from there, go to Casa del Museo Abargues, so as to visit it.

From here, go to the street called Calle Santo Domenech and keep walking until you get to the Franciscan Convent.

At the end of Calle Padre Zacarias, turn right onto Calle Escoto and pass by the Padre Melchor elementary school. At this point, turn right again and walk along the old Xaló road, passing under the highway.

In front of Benissa's horse riding club, turn left to visit the first riurau, Riurau de Senijola.

Retrace your steps, following the path known as Camino de Senijola and, at the crossroads with a dirt road, turn left until you get to the second riurau, called Riurau Cama Roja.

At this point, make a 180° turn and change the direction in which you are walking, continuing the route and turning left after about three kilometres, crossing the road that connects Benissa with Senija.

Continue along this path until Camino del Plà, where you again have to go underneath the motorway. The next two turns are both towards the left, thereby arriving at Riurau Ferrandet.

Once you have stopped and observed the riurau, retrace your steps and turn left towards Benissa after passing under the bridge.

Shortly after, on the left, you can see Riurau Casa Llebra, separated by the path that you have to cross.

Next to this riurau, a little further on, is Riurau del Sargent.

Following the route, go to the street called Calle Azagador Bonaire where you can see the last riurau, Riurau dels Ivars.

This is the last stop before heading towards the end of the route, in the direction of the square known as Plaza del Rei Jaume I.
