La Tinença de Benifassà
The grand secret inland

Its abrupt relief leads to an immense landscape. Benifassà’s Tinença rises amidst nature with calcareous formations modelled and punished by the erosion, which transformed it into unique stone shapes such as Portell de l’Infern.

This is one of the places in the Valencian Community where it rains the most, but its rivers are shallow because the land’s

 
 

calcareous substratum allows the water to filter away. Nevertheless, there are many small waterfalls and the famous and impressive cascade, the Salt de Robert. On the steep areas around the Fou gully you can find the best botanical species. Hazel, lime trees, maples and black poplars colour spring and autumn and with the shade of their branches there are endemic species such as rock “xuclamel” (honeysuckle) and mountain valerian.

Some of its emblematic trees have become a point of reference and a sign of identity, being over 150 years of age just like the pines at Coveta, the black poplars at Font Lluny or the lime trees in Coratxà. The last two are situated in Pobla de Benifassà. Golden eagles, falcons, lagoon eaglets and vultures fly over steep rocks inhabited by martens, badgers and wild boars. The rich fauna around Benifassà’s Tinença favours thick vegetation

Valencia’s natural patrimony holds much excitement for the visitor who reaches Benifassà’s Tinença. In this area, time, tectonic processes and the erosive forces of wind and water have created precipices, gullies, caves, holes and infinite mountainous formations that form peaks over 1.300 m high, such as Tossal d’en Canadé.
