" I have driven to the Natural Park of La Font Roja near the city of Alcoy, the north face of the Sierra del Menejador is a magnificent Mediterranean-type forest full of holm oaks and maples. I have started the route from the hermitage to the recreational area and upon reaching the Pla de la Mina area where there is a lime kiln and a reconstruction of a charcoal kiln, a path begins to the left that ascends strongly in the middle of a forest extraordinary. In some sections you can see steps carved into the stone and polished by the footsteps and the years. In the upper area I see several vultures as I go towards Alto del Pilat and La Teixereta (earwig in Spanish). Then I head towards the Menejador peak where there is a Forest watchtower and under an oak I have a little lunch. Later next to the hermitage I refresh myself in the fountain with really good and cold water." — franciscobirruezo • Jun 25, 2023

"From the car park below the Castell de la Mola and Santuario de Sta María Magdalena. After coffee in the Café and a wander around the castle and the church, we took a track up to a quarry, and then a steep path that wound up to and along the NE ridge of the hill, then around the valley crest and up to the summit with a few simple scrambling moves. After lunch and an entry in the summit book, we took a wider path down, a quarrymen's route, to join the trail anti-clockwise around the hill and back to the car park.

"Hiked over the hill the north-east from parking at La Goleta by a steep scrambley path onto the plateau. Abandoned a descent to the seaward side as too rocky for me in my condition. Ascended back onto the northern end of the hill, then down by a wide path and grit road into the city suburbs. Then by streets and paths around the flank of the hill back to the car. Hot and sunny, but with a strong NW wind. With KM and JK." — marktrengove • Mar 10, 2023
