Walking & Hiking Around Casa de Olivos
Walking is one of the most rewarding ways to experience this quiet corner of northern Castellón. From gentle countryside strolls through ancient olive groves to panoramic hill walks and protected natural parks, Casa de Olivos is perfectly placed for guests who enjoy exploring on foot — unhurried, independently, and away from crowds. With a mild climate for much of the year and a landscape shaped by centuries of agriculture, walking here feels authentic and deeply connected to place.
Walks from the Door
Step straight out of Casa de Olivos and into a network of rural tracks, farm lanes and footpaths that wind through working olive groves, almond trees and open countryside. These routes are ideal for relaxed morning walks with gorgeous sunrises over the distant coastline or longer rambles, offering wide valley views and the peaceful rhythm of rural life.
This is a living agricultural landscape, so at certain times of year you may see farmers at work — a gentle reminder that this is real rural Spain, not a manicured resort.
Traiguera Trails & the BTT 100k Network
(Perfect for Walkers)
Casa de Olivos sits within easy reach of the Traiguera BTT 100k trail network — a well-maintained system of interconnected routes that, while originally designed for mountain biking, are equally enjoyable for walkers.
We are located directly on Route 6, a scenic circular trail that can be comfortably walked in sections or adapted into shorter loops. The route links olive groves, open farmland and historic paths, including stretches of the ancient Via Augusta, and connects Traiguera with the beautiful Font de la Salut sanctuary.
For walkers, these trails offer:
- Wide, clearly defined paths
- Gently changing terrain
- Easy navigation
- The freedom to walk as far or as little as you choose
It’s an ideal option for guests who enjoy independent walking without technical difficulty.
Detailed maps and GPX/Wikiloc tracks are available via the official Traiguera tourism website, with descriptions and links for each BTT 100k trail to help you plan your days.
Sierra de Sant Pere – Walks with a View
Looking out from Casa de Olivos, you’ll see the distinctive ridge of the Sierra de Sant Pere, rising to around 580 metres above sea level. This hill range is a real draw for walkers, offering routes that climb gradually through olive groves and woodland before opening out onto panoramic viewpoints.
From higher paths and ridgelines, walkers are rewarded with sweeping views across the countryside towards Traiguera, neighbouring villages and, on clear days, distant glimpses of the Mediterranean.
These walks are especially popular with guests who enjoy:
- A sense of elevation without extreme hiking
- Big views and quiet landscapes
- Routes that feel remote but are close at hand
Village Walks & Cultural Routes
Walking here is as much about culture as scenery. From Casa de Olivos, guests often enjoy routes linking nearby villages such as
Traiguera and Sant Jordi, combining gentle exercise with local life.
Pause for a coffee in a village square, explore cobbled streets and historic buildings, or simply enjoy the contrast between countryside paths and traditional town life — all without needing to get in the car.
Natural Parks for Longer Walks
For more varied or full-day walks, several outstanding natural areas are just a short drive away:
- Serra d’Irta Natural Park – coastal and mountain walking with Mediterranean views and hidden coves
- Tinença de Benifassà Natural Park – remote mountain landscapes with forests, wildlife and signposted hiking routes
- Ebro Delta Natural Park – flat, scenic walking through wetlands and lagoons, ideal for birdwatching
Together, they offer an exceptional range of walking experiences for different abilities and interests.

- Spring and autumn offer ideal conditions
- Summer walks are best early morning or late evening
