One of my places in Alicante y Benidorm

Castell de Cocentaina

Cocentaina

Dr. Abdulmajeed Al-MudarraMy tip
“Walking from the cultural centre takes about 40 minutes uphill; or drive, then walk 1 km. The interior opens at weekends only.”

The tower of Castell de Cocentaina, standing on a mountaintop above the town, bears witness to the network of Islamic fortresses in the Mariola mountains and offers a wide panoramic view.

Moderate effort

Buses to Cocentaina; a 40-minute steep uphill walk from the cultural center with no shade, or by car on a narrow road and then 1 km on foot. No facilities at the summit.
