Bèrnia, one of the highest mountains in Alicante Serra Bèrnia, one of the highest mountains in Alicante. By José R. Marqués For decades the province of Alicante has been sold as a sun and beach destination; and it continues to be done, under the umbrella of the Costa Blanca brand that was created in the second half of the 20th century. The greatest exponent of this model is, without a doubt, Benidorm, that city that was built in the 60s on a small coastal town and that broke urban planning schemes, with as many defenders as detractors. From the Levante beach in Benidorm, if you look inland, you will see an imposing mountain that seems to be missing “a piece”: it is the majestic Puig Campana, which stands on a long mountain range that seems to have no end, like the sea on the horizon. In another very touristy coastal destination, Altea, we saw something similar: a large mountain range that protects the backs of the municipality, Bèrnia.
Not to mention Dénia, where the supervision of the Montgó massif will always accompany us. Views of Montgó from Dénia Views of Montgó from Dénia. By SerFF79 These are just some examples of emblematic mountains that attract us from a peaceful swim in the waters of the Mediterranean and invite us to discover the Cell Phone Number List interior of Alicante. In fact, it is considered one of the most mountainous provinces in Spain . Although the peaks are not too high (the ceiling is Aitana, with 1,556 meters), there are more than 50 that exceed a thousand meters and others have steep slopes going from sea level to the 753 meters of Montgó, for example. These are some of the highest mountains in Alicante. Aitana (1,557 meters) Aitana, Alicante Aitana, Alicante. By el-bee It is the highest mountain in Alicante and is at the easternmost end of the Betic mountain range, in the regions of Marina Baixa and El Comtat .
It has ascents through different municipalities: Benifato, Confrides, Sella (a very beautiful town that is worth visiting) and Alcoleja. There is a part at the top that has restricted access because it is an old military base (disused for decades) and that makes it easily identified from afar by its characteristic “white balls.” Puigcampana (1,410 meters) Puigcampana, one of the highest mountains in Alicante Puigcampana, one of the highest mountains in Alicante. By Olaf Speier From the coast of Benidorm, you have that perspective that seems like “a piece” of the mountain is missing; Viewed from the south, it presents the image of a great colossus. It is in the municipality of Finestrat, a small town with charming slopes and alleys. It has an alternative of “vertical kilometer” through a quarry, for those who are more fit. From the top, you will have a spectacular panoramic view of the mountains and the coast (and, of course, Benidorm).
