View of Aitana Summit

Highlight • Viewpoint

At 1,559 meters high, the Sierra de Aitana takes the title of the highest mountain in Alicante. The summit itself is located in military territory and cannot be accessed, but you can get very close along a road in good condition. The views from the top are impressive and getting there certainly requires physical effort, but the reward is incredible.

Summit of Portet de Tagarina

From its 1,255 meters you can see amazing views in all directions. Its top is part of the Sierra de Aitana chain and from here you will undoubtedly have the best panoramic views of Alicante in its entirety.

Clot dels Teixos Ice Well

Highlight • Monument

It is the ruins of an old refrigerator used in the past to collect snow and then be able to make ice from it. It is known that it used to have a roof, although today only the remains of the walls and the well itself remain.

Starting from Font de Partagat (beware: do NOT drive through the ultra narrow streets of the village of Benifato)

Just before the summit it is extremely steep. The descent along the ridge is strenuous because of the many sharp and loose stones. We were up there in November and got fried. Not recommended in summer.

Aitana, at 1558 meters, is the highest peak in the province of Alicante. Just a week ago, it looked splendid with a thick blanket of snow, but the high temperatures of the last four days melted it all.

There is often a slightly sweet scent in the air, like a mixture of lavender and thyme. The tour should also be …

Great circular tour, partly on slippery gravel or small, hard, impassable stones. A little climbing required. Sure-footedness is required.
