Self-guided routes
Alongside the guided activities, Petrer’s Tourist Information Office has produced a leaflet featuring six signposted routes that can be followed independently at any time, complete with recommendations for walkers.
Bringing nature into Petrer
Tourism councillor David Morcillo explained that the initiative responds to “an outstanding debt in local tourism linked to nature.” He added that many people already travel to Petrer independently to enjoy its mountains and hiking routes.
