Taking a break from the everyday can be easier than you think, and sometimes the best nature experiences are just around the corner. Near Hotel Bersoca, you’ll find stunning natural spots where you can enjoy peaceful walks, fresh air and breathtaking views — no hiking expertise required.
Whether you're visiting as a couple, with a group of friends, or bringing your pet along, these hiking trails in Benicàssim are perfect for relaxing and reconnecting with the landscape. Here are four you can explore during your stay with us.
1. Vía Verde del Mar
This is the most famous trail in the area, and with good reason. It follows an old railway route between Benicàssim and Oropesa del Mar, running alongside the Mediterranean with impressive views of cliffs, tunnels and hidden coves.
● Distance: around 6 km one way
● Difficulty: very easy
● Perfect for: cycling, walking or going with kids
You can walk to the starting point directly from the hotel. It’s a great option for the morning, and once you're back, you can cool off with a swim at the beach.
2. Bartolo Trail (Easy Section)
The Bartolo summit is the highest point in the Desert de les Palmes, but you don’t have to reach the top to enjoy its surroundings. There are milder routes, like the one that starts at the Sant Joan viewpoint, which takes you through pine forests and natural lookouts.
● Distance: varies depending on the chosen section
● Difficulty: low to moderate on the easy stretch
● Perfect for: anyone wanting a bit more movement without too much effort
3. Walk through La Renegà Natural Area
This is not a mountain trail, but it is one of the most visually rewarding. Starting near the Vía Verde, it winds along rocky coves, Mediterranean pines and hidden corners where nature feels untouched. It’s a short but very sensory experience.
● Distance: 2 to 3 km
● Difficulty: easy
● Perfect for: couples looking for romantic spots or families wanting to explore without getting too tired
4. Agujas de Santa Águeda Route
Starting from the Desierto de las Palmas, the trail climbs through rocky terrain until reaching the striking formations known as the Agujas de Santa Águeda. The scenery is wild, the panoramic views are breathtaking, and the experience connects you with the most rugged and authentic side of Benicàssim.
● Distance: 6 km (circular).
● Difficulty: moderate.
● Ideal for: hikers with good physical condition looking for a short but intense route, unforgettable views, and a true sense of achievement.
