コセンタイナのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

Climb to Montcabrer from the Hermitage of Sant Cristòfol. On this occasion, we have chosen to use paths less traveled and away from the normal route. For the climb we have turned left to pass by the Font de l'Heura and the Morales cross, but, inevitably, in some sections of the climb we coincide with said "main" route. Once at the top, for the descent we chose to pass through the Penyes Monteses and continue along the path that runs first on one side of the ridge (north or ombré face with abundant vegetation), to then pass to the other side of the ridge ( south or sunny face with little or no vegetation and a lot of rock). Spectacular route in every sense, demanding on the way up, unforgettable places, impressive views and technical areas on the way down. A true enjoyment of the route.

Hermitage with a viewpoint towards the city and the valley. It has parking and a picnic area. From here you can connect with several paths in the Mariola mountain range.

The 13th century castle crowns the hill of San Cristóbal and draws attention for its outstanding military Valencian Gothic style. If you go by bike you have to leave it in the parking lot and go up the narrow path on foot. The panoramas you get are from film.

Top of Montcabrer. Amazing views.

Respect the place...

From its 1,390 meters above sea level, the top of Montcabrer is the panoramic point par excellence of the Parc Natural Serra de Mariola. From here you can see other peaks such as Aitana, Puig Campana and in the distance the summit of Montgó and Benicadell. You can reach the top by several alternative paths and trails of varying difficulty, it's all up to you!

In the Sierra de Mariola Natural Park. The road ends at the ruins of Mas de Llopis. From this point, a well-marked path takes us in about 45 minutes to the top of Montcabrer.

The summit of Montcabrer is an extraordinary panoramic point of the sierras and mountains of Alicante and southern Valencia. Among others, the Aitana massif, the Campana hill, the Montgó summit, the Benicadell mountain range, the walled silhouette of La Safor, and the distinguished Mondúver appear on the horizon. On clear and clear days it is possible to see the island of Ibiza floating in the Mediterranean.
