The Penyagolosa (1,813 m) is popularly considered the geographical ceiling of the Valencian Community because all its slopes are within the province of Castellón, although it is officially Cerro Calderón or Alto de las Barracas (1,831 m), which has a slope in the Valencian territory of Rincón de Ademuz and another in the province of Teruel. The summit of Penyagolosa is a rocky trident with three spurs separated by vertical walls and vertiginous channels that fall towards the precipices of the south face. The views are magnificent, on clear days the Columbretes Islands appear on the Mediterranean horizon.
