If you're a fan of river hikes, you can't miss the Valloré walkways. 🌊

It's a spectacular place located on the Silent Route (A-1702) in Teruel. 🏞️

It's a journey through the narrow parts of the Guadalope River as it passes through Montoro de Mezquita. 🚶‍♂️💧

The excursion consists of two parts: on one side, an easy-level stroll along the walkways, and on the other, the Mirador, which is more demanding, and we believe it's not suitable for people who suffer from vertigo. It's a circular route, but you can also do it one way and back through the gorge. 🔄👣

To get to the Valloré walkways:

The excursion starts from Montoro de Mezquita, a small village where about ten inhabitants live, according to a resident of the municipality. 🏘️

It is located 95km from Teruel. The road to access the village is somewhat narrow, but we were able to pass well with our large van. It's true that we were hoping not to encounter any oncoming cars. We were lucky on the way there, but on the way back, we came across a couple of cars, and we could see that we fit well. 🚐🛣️

You should know that you cannot enter the village with your vehicle, but there is a parking lot at the entrance to it, from where we start the hike. 🅿️🚶‍♂️

The route begins in the same village, which must be crossed. Right from the start, the route is very well signposted, with signs and white and yellow markings.

Along the way, you'll come across a recreational area, where you can have a picnic, barbecue, play ping pong, or simply rest after the hike.

Keep moving forward, and you'll reach a point where the path splits in two. To the right, we go to the walkways, and to the left, to the viewpoint.

The Valloré gorge is a beautiful route, approximately 1km long, which takes about 20 minutes (it all depends on the photos you take 😉). It's done in several sections composed of wooden walkways just above the river, anchored in the rock, and well equipped with safety cables to hold onto.

At the end of the route, there's a sign indicating the ascent to the Valloré viewpoint. Here you can choose whether to climb up or retrace your steps and return to the village.

Tip: In summer, it's best to go before 1 p.m., as the sun's rays point to this area, and photos always come out more beautiful. ☀️📸

Valloré Viewpoint Section

Caution: If you suffer from vertigo, you might find this challenging. ⚠️

We started by ascending to the viewpoint, and ended up returning via the walkways, and it was for one simple reason: we went at the end of June and it was hot. ☀️

If it's very hot, and you go early, we recommend doing the route in this direction, as the section to the viewpoint is more demanding, and the walkway section is cooler. 🌡️

It's a short but intense walk, a continuous ascent, with some exposed sections, although well equipped with staples and safety cables. If you're with children, keep an eye on them in these sections. We actually enjoyed these steps, as they offer spectacular views of the valley. 👀👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

Once you reach the viewpoint, the views of the gorge are spectacular, where you can see the rugged profiles of the mountains, and observe the flight of the vultures. 🦅🏞️

To return to the village, you should follow the white and yellow markings again. 🚶‍♂️🏘️
