Fantastic views and nice rocks to sit and have your lunch. Large flat area for large walking groups. Accessible from Murla on a steep SAC T3 path via the Hermita and Penya Migdia which does not include any chains or staples - BUT - if you continue west along the route there are chains and staples SAC T4 and T5 to negotiate. The T5 is a descent heading west to east and appears more daunting than if you were making an ascent. In my humble view it does not warrant a T5 rating. In reality any average competent walker will not experience any significant problem.

This section is "off-piste" to get to the top of Cavall Verd. It involves staples, a chain and some steep rock. This part of the trail must be descended the same way as you clambered up.

From the TOP of the mountain one can have great view of La SAFOR and MARINA ALTA areas (nice view of Gandia and Oliva towns). Unfortunately, due to very rich vegetation (high trees) it is not possible to enjoy a 360 degree view similar to option which one has by hiking up Montuver mountain. Short video about this hike could be found under the following link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j-mfyWy6RzQ

Now it's cherry blossom. All levels of maturity can be seen.

The start of the hike is a bit frightening due to the location (rainwater drainage basins and dog excrement), but after 500 m you go into nature. The hike is well signposted and easy to do with sturdy shoes.

One of the best views of the route that goes from Benissili Castle to La Foradà.

Joan Pellicer described it as "a watchtower of light, a swaying arch and well drawn by chance, an eye looking at the sea, a portal open to those who seek, the moons and sea breezes, the Peña Foradada, grotesque, beautiful and Gaudinian..." .
