  1. Leave the asphalted road behind the Font Jordana and climb for about 500 metres, until, just where the climb ends, there is a paved road on the right with 2 red marks. Taking this path, we will continue climbing until the next crossroads where there is a mountain path on the left.
  2. This path will soon take us to the engineer’s path, which we will take to the left, crossing in a short time the “Penyascals” ravine and the “Font de la Petaca” ravine (PR marks).

Following the path, we will reach a path that we will take on the left to go down to the Font del Patge (the only water supply point up to La Covalta). This is a great place to have breakfast and enjoy the views of the Vall d’Albaida region.

  1. We will continue going down until a fork in the road that we will take to the right.
  2. We will follow the path until a crossing where there is a bend. On the right (PR signal), we will go towards Covalta, where we can already see the cross on the summit.
  3. Do not leave the path until you see a path on the right that leads directly to Covalta (there is a PR sign on a pine tree)
  4. We have a tough zigzag climb to Covalta. We will leave a path on the right and reach the Covalta (fountain inside the cave and wonderful views of the whole valley).
  5. To return, take the same path down to the crossroads we left before, now on our left.
  6. The path will take us for approximately 1 km along a path where “El coll de Santa Anta” is located, which we will take on the right (also leaving a path on the left that leads to the Agres valley).
  7. After approximately 1 km. we will find a path on the left. We will continue straight on until a crossroads marked with a signpost (“Foieta dels carros”, “Camí vell d’Ontinyent en Agres”, Camino del Cuco). We will take the cuckoo’s path on the right.
  8. Going down the path, leave a path on the right, continue until you find the path that goes down to the fountain of the page. Turn left.
  9. We will continue until we find the crossroads of two paths and the cuckoo’s path, which we will take.
  10. It is time to go down without leaving the path until we reach the engineers’ path. We go to the left.
  11. Finally we will find the path that goes down to the Font Jordana.
