La Serra Grossa or Sierra de San Julián is a rocky elevation 173 meters high located within the city of Alicante, facing the Mediterranean Sea. Although I go to Alicante several times a week, Serra Grossa had never merited my attention; its small height and proximity to the city had never seemed like

La Vall de Gallinera is a municipality in the Valencian Community located in the northeast of the province of Alicante, in the Marina Alta region. It has 8 small villages and a population of 583 inhabitants.

It has a very interesting cultural heritage and an infinity of trails that connect the villages

The Sierra Mariola is one of the great mountain ranges of Alicante, its highest point, Montcabrer, is one of the essential peaks for every mountaineer in the area. Today I celebrate my Komoot route number 1500 and I have chosen this hike, new for us, which has taken us through magnificent mountain trails

Today's route is a combination of two we did last year that we liked a lot, but changing the direction. An easy route to walk, on good paths and with beautiful views. It goes up through "El barranco del infierno" (The ravine of hell), a curious and very repeated name. I know four others in Alicante

A magnificent route organized by our club to ascend three peaks in the northwest of the Region of Murcia, an area unknown to us and I think to almost everyone else, as there are few published descriptions and few trails; the routes are almost all cross-country.

We set off along the Las Polladas stream

I've mentioned several times that the Sierra de Salinas is one of our favorite destinations: a vast forest, magnificent views, and solitude. Today we hiked up the marked PR-CV 159 trail, which starts next to the old Hermitage of San Isidro. The first time we came, years ago, we used a drawing and some

Today we had planned a hike in the Alicante countryside, but a storm forecast made us decide to stay close to home, and when we don't have any other plans, the Laia trail is a sure thing. Located just outside Elche, the path climbs and descends hills, mostly along the ridge. It's a route we've done many

A lovely hike following sections of the PR CV-165 trail that leads to the summit of Alto de don Pedro in the Sierra de la Sima mountain range, near the neighboring town of Salinas, about a half-hour drive from home. We had hiked the route in the opposite direction, but I think this way is more beautiful

Once again, I'm hiking through the wonderful Föhrenberge Nature Park. I did this route at the end of last November, but today I planned it in reverse and changed some of the paths. On the map, the park is like a spiderweb of trails, and it's exciting to find out if the paths actually exist or if they

The first sunny day of the year in Vienna, and I couldn't stay home. This is my favorite route; I did it in the opposite direction in November, and I always enjoy it just as much: the path through the vineyards, the long walk through the woods, three notable peaks, and a couple of new sections I hadn
