The walk to the summit of the Aitana starts on the north side of the mountain, at the pretty ‘Font de Partagat’ a natural spring above the village of Benifato.

We start at an elevation of 950m, and walk on gentle ascending paths to Aitana’s summit at 1.558 m, the highest point in Costa Blanca.

On the way you’ll spot a fantastic example of a ‘Nevera’; these impressive snow caves were built in the early 18th century and are typically found at the north facing slopes of Costa Blanca’s mountains.

An exciting short scramble leads to the broad summit of the Aitana, a site also used as a Spanish military base. Along the ridge of the Aitana you are treated to the most awesome panoramic views on the Costa Blanca.
