A beautiful spot between Artana and Onda that is worth visiting. The path is in good condition and runs through beautiful forests with the Peñas Altas in the background.

On the previous climb, there is a moment where you have to go over a cable with a no entry sign, but that is because there are bee hives, they are quite far from the path.

Castle complex/ruins with fantastic views. Unfortunately, dogs are not allowed in, so one always had to stay outside

Interesting mercury mine known as Els pous de Cantallops (Fontanelles area), with a vertical well about 30 m high, carved into the rock. https://www.mtiblog.com/2012/05/mina-cantallops-alfondeguilla-castellon.html Access to the mine is via the Cantallops Road, which begins in Forcall Gorge and ends in the town of Alfondeguilla.

The path leads us along the red rocks to the Pic de la Font de Cabres. Sure-footedness and a head for heights are required.

Nice place to disconnect. From the top there are impressive views, although to go up you have to be moderately prepared (and not have vertigo). A place worth visiting, both from the viewpoint below and from the rocky ledges at the top.
