Serpis Greenway
A spectacular excursion inland from the coast following the River Serpis along the route and through the tunnels of the former Gandia-Alcoy railway.
Nestled atop the hills near the town of Moixent, La Bastida de les Alcussers is a remarkable archaeological site that takes us back to the 5th and 4th centuries BCE, offering us a glimpse of daily Iberian life before the Roman conquest.
The settlement includes well-preserved remains of residential buildings, storage areas, and an impressive network of defensive dry-stone walls and watchtowers. Walking through the site, we see evidence of the Iberians’ sophisticated craftsmanship, with excavations having uncovered pottery, tools, jewellery and even weapons, giving insight into the daily life and the spiritual and artistic practices of this ancient civilization. Items recovered include a small bronze figure of an Iberian horseman-warrior known as “the Warrior of Moixent”.
