La Sierra de Bèrnia is the natural frontier between the Marina Alta and Marina Baixa and its crested ridge is the backdrop that we see as we look south over Benissa. This route passes alongside the Font de Bèrnia (spring), and goes through the "Forat", a natural tunnel that crosses through the ridge to the southern slopes where the route continues as far as the "Fort de Bèrnia" the fortress that was built during the reign of Felipe II to ward off the Moorish attacks.
