Puig Campana
A 1,410 m limestone peak with a distinct notch at the top, the landmark behind Benidorm. The full climb takes about 5–6 hours.
Puig Campana is the second-highest peak in the Marina Baixa region. The huge V-shaped notch beside the summit (legend says it was cut by Roland's sword) can be seen from Benidorm beach. Hikes usually start from the Font del Molí spring near Finestrat, following a loop trail and then a steep scree slope to the top. The round trip takes about 5–6 hours with roughly 1,000 m of ascent, suited to experienced hikers. If your stamina is limited, you can just walk part of the loop trail. From the summit you can see the whole white coastline. In summer it is hot and water is scarce, so start early.
