Onda makes a great base for mountain bike rides into the Sierra de Espadán and the area around the Sichar reservoir. The four official routes promoted by ondaturismo.es range from 8 to 21 km and mix forest tracks, rural paths, and short stretches of local road. The terrain shifts from flat riding by the water to steep climbs reaching 700–800 m in the hills.
The one-way routes (Sichar and Pedrissetes) require planning your return: ride back the same way, leave a second vehicle at the endpoint, or combine with the Onda–Castelló bus. Download the GPS track from ondaturismo.es before you set off.
The forest tracks in the Sierra de Espadán are not signposted for MTB. Carry a map or keep the track active on your device, and let someone know your planned route.

Onda – Sichar Reservoir
The shortest and most accessible route. It starts from the centre of Onda and reaches the Sichar reservoir along rural paths and gentle forest tracks. A good introduction to MTB in the area, or a comfortable family ride for kids already confident on a bike.
Onda – Pedrissetes
A linear route pushing into the forest tracks around Pedrissetes, in the transition zone between the coastal plain and the first foothills of the Sierra de Espadán. Varied terrain with a few short climbs.
Onda – Ermitorio del Salvador (loop)
A loop passing by the Ermitorio del Salvador (318 m), the most important pilgrimage destination in Onda. Combines rural paths, a few short stretches of light tarmac, and pine-forest tracks. A comfortable mid-distance MTB ride.
Onda – Sierra de Espadán (loop)
The longest and most demanding route. It heads deep into the Sierra de Espadán Natural Park on forest tracks through cork oak woodland, with significant total elevation gain. Best suited to riders in good shape with off-road experience.
