Points of interest along PR CV 354 route:

In terms of nature, La Granadella is characterised by its huge botanical richness with a large number of autochthonous species (there is a natural Micro-reserve), whilst in terms of fauna it boasts a significant colony of birds of prey. It also has a rich cultural heritage in the form of  many examples of traditional agricultural architecture (dating from 19^th and 20^th centuries).

Granadella Castle is a small fortress dating from the 18th Century with tuff stone wall facing. In its day it housed a garrison of 3 soldiers and 2 bronze cannons.

From the Gurugú Byway the Cumbre del Sol residential complex can be seen. This byway shortens the route, there is also the Taulería byway and both are well signposted along the route.
