A very tricky yet incredibly beautiful ridge to hike on, take a look at the pictures! Not meant for bicycles, trust me. Requires quite a bit of climbing / bouldering skills and is definitely not for everyone.

As the circuit is not easy to discover I leave this little topo:
- From the N 340 exit at Benicàssim center.
- Panel “Desierto de les Palmes” - take CV 143 from the north.
- We pass over the AP-7/E-15 motorway.
- Continue. After 2 to 3 kms which wind and go up, take a fork on the right “Barranc de Miravet”.
- After 500-600m park in a car park on the left just before a private road.
- A little lower to the right, start of the trail marked by a sign.
- Follow the path for 1.2 km (30-35 min). 3 white-yellow markings (horizontal) a little erased on the route.
- We arrive at a pass (chorten present):
The path continues to the left and descends to Benicàssim.
On the right a narrower path goes towards the needles.
- Continue the path towards the needles. Arrived at the rocky areas we guess a markup by yellow round dots painted below on the rocks.
- To access the needles, you need to use your hands because the ropes have been removed.
(Trap: at the bottom of the ridges you can't see the summit!!!)

Ditto for the descent but the yellow dots are not very visible and risk losing the path.
At the pass go down without difficulty to the car park.
