Promoter: Ayuntamiento de Jijona

Certification status: Positive quality control

1 review

There is no proof of quality control on the record of this trail in the last years. For this reason, it is unknown whether it complies with the optimal signage and maintenance conditions for hikers to take the trail following these signs exclusively.
Hikers have to take into consideration that the information about the signage and maintenance of the trails for which the promoter entity is responsible might not be up to date anymore, since it refers to its state on the date of its approval. Furthermore, mountain sports entail risks associated with the activity itself and the environment where they take place, for which any person is fully liable. For this reason, hikes need to be planned properly and adequate training, equipment and sensible use of the trails are required.

Route description (only available in Spanish)

Desde el barranco de la Font subimos por la calle Francés Nicolau. A pocos metros a derecha encontramos la subida que nos lleva a la senda del castillo hasta situarnos en la carretera de Tibi. Nos dirigimos a la izquierda durante 150m para atravesar la carretera e iniciar el camino de Alècua. Este camino nos conduce hasta Pineta alternando tramos de tierra y asfalto. Desde aquí ya podemos observar la zona del forat de la peña.

El camino se vuelve senda e incrementa su atractivo, llegando al punto donde se inicia el recorrido circular. Pasaremos la casa del Butanero para adentrarnos en el barranco de Joqueros que nos conduce por una bonita senda hasta el collado de la cueva del Águila, siendo el tramo con más desnivel del sendero.

Desde el collado, seguimos a derecha por un tramo pronunciado y rocoso en el cual la senda no es visible y tendremos que guiarnos por las balizas colocadas hasta llegar al cordal de la peña Migjorn. A nuestra izquierda en ascenso, encontramos la cumbre.

Desde la cumbre volveremos sobre nuestros pasos durante 70m. Tomaremos la bajada a izquierda para llegar al paraje de la cueva dels Corrals. Seguiremos la senda en descenso hasta llegar a la primera carena, desde donde divisaremos Xixona al fondo. Continuamos hasta localizar el cruce que cierra el circuito circular, y desde este, por Pineta volver a Jijona.
