Tunnel
This tunnel is around 583 m long and for years it was essential for carrying raw materials on the railway linking the Ojos Negros mine with the port of Sagunto for the distribution of raw materials.
Its architecture is quite similar to that of other tunnels located along the route that this train used to travel in the past. It was built in stone with materials that blend in quite well with the chromatic range of the surroundings. The filtrations that the tunnel suffers are visible on its walls, which are stained with the tones of the substrate that crosses it.
Its entrance is just before entering the town of Jérica. At one end the walls are dug into the ground, while at the opposite end there is a wooden bench and a litter bin, as well as walls supporting the excavated terrain.
Today, this old railway infrastructure is part of the greenway along the route of this railway line that has been integrated into the national network of Nature Trails. It means that this pass, located between the ravines of Castellón, is perfectly conditioned for walkers and cyclists. Although the interior of the tunnel is equipped with automatic lighting, it is recommended to carry a torch, as there are ditches in the interior, as indicated on an information panel at the entrance.
