La Font de la Figuera

La Font de la Figuera is the last town in the Valencian Community before crossing into Castilla-La Mancha. It has basic services — bars, a small shop, accommodation. Stock up and rest here, because the next stretch to Almansa is 27 km with no intermediate services. Plan your water accordingly, especially in summer when temperatures on the meseta can be brutal.

The town sits at a natural mountain pass that has been a crossing point between the Mediterranean coast and the interior for millennia.
