CURVESCOUT / MOTORCYCLE RIDE
Ordered leg totals agree within rounding. Stop distances are approximate sums of rounded legs. Stops, delays, approach and any separate return travel add time. Basis: producer-declared routed record.
Reading history stays on this device. My road watch requires a separate selection; opening it does not subscribe this ride.
Distance and riding time are measured on the routed road. Check local closures and conditions before you ride.
From Tuéjar it runs 347 km to Tuéjar; allow about 6 h 08 of riding. On the way it passes La Peña del Castellar, Barrio Tiradores and back through La Peña del Castellar. The stored terrain estimate reaches about 1,350 m; a measured road-elevation profile is not available. It was put together for the scenery rather than the shortest line.
Tuéjar, Chelva and Alpuente are small towns in the Serranía, the rugged highland of inland Valencia, where the rivers cut deep valleys between pine-clad ridges. It is a corner of the province that most visitors to the coast never see. The name on the stop refers to the UNESCO listing of 1998 for the rock art of the Mediterranean basin on the Iberian peninsula, and the paintings of Barranco de las Colochas, the ravine nearby, belong to it. The ravine and the surrounding woods are worth the trip on their own.

Rock Art of the Mediterranean Basin on the is where the day begins. Next is La Peña del Castellar.
Villar del Humo is a tiny village in the Serranía of Cuenca, the high, forested mountain country east of the city of Cuenca. Around it, sandstone outcrops rise from pine forests, and on their faces prehistoric painters left images of animals and people. The Peña del Escrito and La Peña del Castellar are among the most important shelters here, and they are part of the World Heritage Site of Rock Art of the Mediterranean Basin. The paintings include deer, horses and human figures, some in the dynamic Levantine style and others more schematic.

La Peña del Castellar comes up about 91 km into the recorded legs. Next is Barrio Tiradores.
Tiradores is one of Cuenca's old quarters, a slice of the hillside town where the steep lanes climb between tall, narrow houses and the sound is mostly footsteps and swifts. It is not a sight in the sense of a single monument. It is a neighbourhood, and that is why it is worth the effort: Cuenca's famous gorge-edge silhouette is made of ordinary houses like these, stuck onto the rock with extraordinary stubbornness, and the people who live here still carry their shopping up the hill.
