If arriving by car, take the road to Alozaina, which starts at the roundabout
at the bottom of the hill near the “Feria” (fairground/Saturday
market place).
If arriving on foot, walk from the bus stop to the roundabout at the
bottom of the hill, following the road to Alozaina (which starts at the
roundabout near the “Feria”).
Once on the Alozaina road, about 3 Km from Coin, you go over a wide river bridge then under a road bridge. At the roundabout, take the first exit. Pass a small rubbish dump on the right, then cross a normally
dry riverbed. Follow our Eco signs along a twisty tarmac road (app. 5
Km) until you reach a bridge (called Puente Valenciana) at the end of
the tarmac road. Cross the bridge, up a concrete track, which becomes
a dirt track.
Keep following the small Eco signs. Go STRAIGHT up the hill and pass through
a group of fenced houses. At the bottom of the hill, app. 1 Km from the
bridge, there is a very large electricity pylon. TURN LEFT, taking the
sharpest of the three left turns, across a small river bed with a footbridge
above and to your left. Continue along the road passing a house named "Laura" and an empty school building at the top. Continue down
the steep hill, through the orange trees, heading towards the river. TURN
RIGHT at the T-junction at the bottom of the hill. Continue for 100m until
you see the Ecoforest sign and a collection of cars, tents etc.
IN WINTER when its wet, only drive down from the school with a 4 wheel
drive, otherwise walk the rest of the way and ask us where to park.
