Peak 211 m

"Today the sun is filtered through the haze, but the breeze is pleasant. I park near the old watchtower and take the path that leads to the north side of the cape. Many yellow flowers and lavender line the rocky path that hugs the cliffs, and down below, some fishermen prepare their lines, hoping for the prized catch. A red-tailed lizard scurries from behind the bushes as I approach. I continue climbing, wondering how the prehistoric inhabitants lived here. They probably ate fish and perhaps rabbits and some birds. They certainly had beautiful views and must have been strong enough to climb up and down these mountains." — franciscobirruezo • Apr 11, 2026

"9 Mar 2026 — Climbing the southern cliff of 🏔️Cabo Cope (Aguillas, Murcia), with the impressive Cueva C‑6 “La Catedral”, was a challenge. This cave sits high on the cliffs and is known for its dramatic entrance, archaeological history, and tough access. From there we crossed the plateau to Cocón de Cope, marked by its geodesic point, and explored the surrounding sub‑peaks. Wild coastline, rugged terrain, and stunning views." — belgianIbex • Mar 9, 2026

"An interesting climb up these mountains in Cabo Cope Natural Park. I leave the car in the town of Calabardina and take the trail that climbs steeply up the north side. I see that the autumn rains have brought the area back to life; lavender flowers and the occasional orange-tipped butterfly add a touch of color to this semi-desert landscape. I climb to the Cocón de Cope and from there towards peak 211. Further on, I see a group of students and their teacher on a field trip. Afterwards, I climb again towards the geodetic marker, where after a while, the teenagers also arrive with their teacher, who points out the surrounding mountains and warns them not to go near the cliffs. The kids look fresh, while the teacher is practically out of breath from the effort of the climb. The views are magnificent, as always, along both sides of the Mediterranean coast." — franciscobirruezo • Oct 29, 2025
