What to expect

A relentless climb on rocky, exposed limestone paths with little shade and big views; it is a proper mountain day despite the coastal setting. Cooler months only.

How to start

Drive to Font del Moli above Finestrat and start early. Carry plenty of water - there is none on the hill - and expect a steep, stony descent.
