Forward 
Duration: 3 hours 15 minutes moving
Minimum height: 478 meters
height: 1084 meters
Total ascent uphill: About 800 meters
Difficulty: This route is moderate difficulty in terms of physical appearance and easy on the technical side except the section that runs between the rock and the peak Pastor Espadán where the road is marked with a little milestones. In this section the path is quite covered by vegetation and trees, and it becomes difficult to follow and it is easy to lose track of the section is difficult vista.Este medium-high.
Route Description: To perform this path we must move to the beautiful village of Ain about 500 meters above sea level. We follow at first the SL-27 into the rock Pastor. We started leaving the town by road to Alcudia de Veo, we have a bit of road until you reach the road about 15-20 minutes. You can avoid a bit of messing road by farm fields but no rolling road towards Alcudia follow until you find a curve to the left palette shows you the path to the rock Pastor.
the road, finally we take
path begins the hardest part of the tour, we expected a tough climb, as you can see in the chart, reaching the rock Pastor with a slope quite pronounced. Luckily the trail is very nice.
The path runs at the beginning of a beautiful Alcornocal, until the gain altitude gives way to pine forest. When I stop to catch your breath I'm listening to the beating he gives a pike and pine on a pine tree as other answers. It is very curious and will hear them in several sections of the course but never get to see them although I look carefully. But the thick trees of this mountain camouflages perfectly.
As you can see in this picture the gap is quite remarkable, but this all very verde.Aparte of oaks, junipers and pines representing the world of heather bushes are many, the jugs, gorse and lavender with some butcher's broom group abundant in the shaded areas in these mountains.
Almost the top we met a small group of chestnut highlighting this because of its height. There are also numerous at this point in the oaks and some maples.
Almost at the top we find a civil war trenches, to reach the top of the ridge Of space we have a pallet on the floor indicator, this made powder. This palette would indicate to this rock Pastor, and west to the south Gurugú iBOL hill.
We're on the left path east to reach the top of the rock Pastor (974 meters) then we arrived and we earn a landscape like the one above, facing the sea this time is not due to a side bruma.Nos up here about 50 minutes chrono stopping at bus stops.
peaks Pictured left battle and acorn to the bottom right
turn to the Index palette and we found this picture that looks pretty good the second part of the route. Gurugú first peak and bottom Espadán, we will crest this ridge to join these summits.
At palette in ruins we headed the Gurugú there is an indication but is on the ground, the path is initially well defined, but will gradually blurring the ground. SL is not only marks a milestone for what you need to pay close attention to the path and if you miss the turn back having as a reference we head west to the sword without losing much altitude.
Upon reaching the top of Gurugú of about 1000 meters high, we see this beautiful view of the peak Espadán. This top is full of ruins of what had to be constructions of the civil war trenches, command posts, machine gun nests, bombing raid shelters. These constructions are very numerous along this entire range and were used by the Republican army. This war lasted a long time since this stand against a million.
Pictured from the rock Pastor Gurugú
trenches are quite large occupying hundreds of meters and fairly well preserved
Although not well appreciated because of the foliage of the pine forest, there is a line of trenches below
bomb shelters, if they came round da claustrophobia get through there!
Pico Espadán, every time we have as close
Gurugú From the road worsens even more, going through a thick forest of oak and pine mixed with some oak. The oaks are plentiful and young people and invade in many cases forcing the road to border a path or bending a lot to save their branches. The landmarks are scarce and must overcome some stone walls which is not an easy path for walkers low ability or low agility. It is not at all an easy path to change is the beauty of being a leafy road less traveled.
We reached the junction with Pr Ain coming from and going to the fridge Algimia soon we reached the peak 1084 meters Espadán we one hour and 50 minutes' drive.
View to the east by the mountain range where we have peaks and steep mountains to the sea grow
View to the northeast toward the mountains Onda
The Rápita and pine forest in the background here are also Javalambre saws and snow Valdelinares
After delighted with the scenery offered by this bill back to the road and return it back by returning to Ain Pr.
This pr runs along the south side of the mountain this time the path is well marked and clean, ideal for hiking.
will go through several quarries that interrupt the beautiful vegetation that grows from this side of the mountain, less lush than the north side but still quite abundant.
Vista back Espadán peak
The vegetation consists mainly of pine and cork oak forest with some oak and juniper scrub and much mostly rock rose, gorse, and lavenders
This beautiful oak tree beside the road is the bigger and older than I found on the course. Large oak trees are not plentiful in the mountains of swords since after the civil war were felled for charcoal all.
I also find this cistern with water
iBOL We reached the hill after two hours of travel to the bottom we see the peak Espadán
Then we leave the road to continue the Pr to the bottom we can see the castle of Ain
curious moss picture embedded in a rock. Mosses, lichens and ferns are very abundant in shaded areas of the Sierra de Espadán giving great beauty and greenery to travel.
We are approaching the castle of Ain, Pr goes under and if you want you can turn aside a moment to visit. Worth as though I've seen many times follow around Ain.
Shortly after passing the castle, the path runs through a pretty shady ravine of great beauty and value botánico.Aquí I met a weasel which gave me no time to photograph.
Leaving the ravine hear the murmur of water and is that for a while we go with the river passing through Ain, giving the beauty and harmony to the path that water alone can give a river.
From here the road ends and continue along an asphalt road.
pass by an old mill that took advantage of the old force of this small but vigorous river.
We approached Ain and started to go through fields. As you see in the picture some almond trees begin to bloom.
Ain We arrived after 3 hours and a quarter of a beautiful journey.
thing about this route: The scenery by walking along the heights of the majestic sword, fling crossing the ridge and the lush vegetation that we are.
Worst: It's just that I've been home a few scratches due to the lush vegetation that invades the path on the ridge and in some sections of Pr to Ain where some bushes also invaded the track.
is also regrettable that some people are unable to collect their garbage, there is not much but it would be nothing.
also I leave these pictures of these ancient Alcornoques I find the way back home by car.
