View from the railway trackbed. This metre gauge line was built and run by the English company "The Alcoy and Gandia Railway and Harbour Company" and opened in 1893 between Alcoy and the Port of Gandia (Grao). There were two daily services between Gandia and Alcoy. It remained in private hands until 1st January 1965, but closed in 1969, still using the locos and rolling stock with which it had opened 76 years earlier. From Lorcha to Villalonga the trackbed follows the Rio Serpis. Locos used were Beyer Peacock 2-6-2T.
