The Cabeço Redondo and Cabec Redo peaks as seen from Tibi

The starting point for this hike is in the “Les Redones” area in Tibi.
To get to this starting point by car, please see the ‘Practical Information’ section below.

(S/E) Continue along the road and, at the second bend, turn off onto the dirt track on the right.

(1) At the crossroads, take the path on the right. Then turn left until you reach the next junction.

(2) Turn left again.

(3) You’ll find yourself in a rocky area, where the path becomes unclear, so you’ll need to follow the GPS track and a few cairns. Head to the right.

(4) You’ll come to the wide path leading to Peyna Migjorn between Ibi and Tibi; take this by turning right. A short while later, on the left, take the wide, almost flat path.

(5) Reach the summit of Cabeço Redondo at an altitude of 1,123 metres. It is marked simply by a pile of stones. Retrace your steps and continue along the path.

(6) On the way, pass the summit of Cabeç Redo at an altitude of 1,136 metres. It is marked by a fairly large cairn. Carry on. Pass (almost without realising it) the Col del Clot, then climb to an unnamed summit which has a cairn.

(7) You’ll reach the Col de la Llentilla. Note the cairn on the right and the path to take down: it’s a stony path, so you must take extra care not to slip. The path is generally well-marked. Look out for some white and yellow markings or cairns to help with navigation. This path runs along the ridge between two ravines.

(8) Take the path on the right to descend into the ravine. Cross it straight ahead and take the path opposite (on the other side, in other words) which leads uphill.

(9) At the junction, take the path on the left which leads downwards and take extra care on this slightly tricky section. Use the various cairns to follow the path. When you rejoin the path you took on the way up, keep to the left (S/E).

To drive to the start of the walk:
First, head for the town of Tibi. Follow the CV-810 towards Jijona, then carry on straight ahead. When you see the sign on the right for ‘Tibi centre and Jijona’, carry on straight ahead and then take the first street on the left (onto Carrer Mestre Enrique Gosalbez). Further on, turn right onto Via Pucuària, following the sign for “Les Redones”. You will then come to a large water tank; park on the left-hand side of the bend.
For your information: from Alicante, the journey is approximately 34 kilometres and takes about 30 minutes.

For your information, the difficulty rating established by the French Hiking Federation (FFR) is as follows: IBP = 66.

This walk follows paths that are very often unmarked, so it is essential to have the route map with you. Furthermore, these paths are full of stones, which makes walking difficult, and you must take extra care, especially on descents, to avoid slipping. It is therefore recommended that you tighten the straps of your rucksack securely across your chest and stomach.

If the route seems too short, you can add a round trip to the highest peak in the area, namely Penya Roja or Penya Migjorn, which rises to an altitude of 1,226 metres. To do this, at the Col de la Llentilla, you must continue straight on (instead of descending immediately as suggested in this route).
