Sports in nature
Without a doubt, in a rural environment the activities that can be carried out from Casa Julia are those sports linked to nature. Hiking is one of the healthiest activities and available to everyone, since anyone can choose the hardness of the itinerary.
The Carrascar de Parcent is the mountain that best allows us to have a complete vision of everything the valley The short route PRCV-158 starts from the town of Parcent, ascends to the summit of the Carrascar mountain range via the Coll de Rates and returns to it via the Coveta dels Coloms and the Font de la Foia. It has a total route of fourteen kilometers and can be done in about six hours. Starting early, you can finish the route calmly and finish by trying any of our rice dishes at the restaurant.
Hiking
Another of the trails with impressive views and full of history is the one that ascends from Murla to the top of Penyó Roig, the summit of Cavall Verd and the place where the rebellious Moors took refuge in the 17th century following the expulsion decree. . At its summit there are the remains of a fortress and we can contemplate the entire Alicante mountain system. From there it is possible to continue the journey along the Cavall ridge and end in the Vall de Laguar (Fleix or Benimaurell). There you will find what is probably the most beautiful cobbled path in the entire Valencian Community and one of the most beautiful trails in Spain, the Camí de les Jovades.
Vall del Pop BTT Center
With the imminent installation of the Vall de Pop MTB Center at the Casa Julia hotel, a new dimension opens up full of possibilities for cycling fans, both road and mountain. A total of two hundred kilometers of routes will start from our hotel, marked and marked with different levels of difficulty, so that anyone who wants to get to know the Vall de Pop in depth and even connect with the sea and the nearby valleys of Gallinera, Laguar and Seta Valley. This new project sponsored by the Department of Tourism is a way to promote cycle tourism since it will allow one-day excursions, with a starting point and arrival point at the hotel, or linking all the routes to form a great journey of several days where you can spend the night in each stage, in different places.

Sea sports
The proximity of the sea is another of the possibilities we have from Parcent. The barely twenty kilometers that separate us from Dénia increase the possibilities for practicing sports linked to the sea (diving, windsurfing, kitesurfing, kayaking or sailing) that the capital of the Navy has very well established. The Montgó natural park, with les Rotes or Cabo de San Antonio, the sandy beaches of les Marines, the nearby coves of Benissa with a path that borders the seashore, reaching the town of Calpe, and the Natural Park of Peñón de Ifach makes up one of the most superb landscapes on the entire peninsular coastline. A paradise within our reach from the Casa Julia hotel.
