Departure from Elda (Alacant / Alicante)
The Ermita de Nuestra Señora de Los Dolores is situated in an area near Elda, at the crossroads between Monovar and Elda, in an area known as Partida de las Cañadas. Consequently, the Ermita is commonly referred to as the Ermita de las Cañadas. It is located in a former agricultural area, irrigated by rainwater.
Even today, it remains an almost desert-like area, and the path leading there, which is not particularly difficult, passes through desert-like terrain, offering a complete change of scenery.

Departure from Novelda (Alacant / Alicante)
A very beautiful walk in the heart of the wilderness with lovely views. I prefer to classify this walk as ‘difficult’ despite the modest elevation gain, as the final ascent to the summit is quite challenging. You can avoid this final ascent, in which case the walk can be classified as ‘easy’.

Difficult
Departure from Petrer (Alacant / Alicante)
This hike takes you up to one of the peaks in the province of Alicante, which is over 1,000 metres high. While the climb to the summit is not particularly difficult, the start of the hike involves exploring some well-hidden caves. This means passing through areas where there is virtually no path and having a good sense of direction. This hike is therefore not suitable for everyone.

Departure from Castalla (Alacant / Alicante)
In the Alicante region, snow wells are called "pou" or "pou de neu" in the Valencian dialect. They are round wells dug into the ground with stone walls and a dome. There are usually two doors, one for putting snow in and the other for taking ice out. They are, of course, located at high altitude. The snow industry, which can be traced back to 1630, was very prosperous until the advent of refrigerators in the 1960s. Here we suggest a short, easy hike to discover one of the most beautiful snow wells in the region.
