As you ascend, the terrain becomes more technical and stony, especially on the approach to Puig Campana Summit, where panoramic views of the Costa Blanca and the surrounding mountain ranges reward your effort. This is a challenging 15.8-kilometer hike with an elevation gain of 986 meters, which will take approximately 6 hours and 9 minutes to complete.
To plan your visit, note that the starting point is Font del Molí, with parking available.
