Valencia to Sagunto Bike Trail

Starting from the Ruzafa neighborhood in Valencia a wonderful bike trail will take you almost all the way to the mountaintop fortress at Sagunto to the north. It takes about an hour and a half to get to Sagunto at a fairly leisurely pace. There's no hurry, however, because there's a lot to see along the way. There are villages to explore as well as ruins from the Moorish era, like the defensive tower in the video. These towers can be found all around the Valencia Community and were used mostly for communication. They all have commanding views of the area around them and they could signal each other with fire or smoke.

If you don't feel like going all the way to Sagunto, take a short detour to the beach.
