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.
