Geodetic point at 900m, bordering the municipalities of Vallada, Moixent, Ontinyent and Aielo de Malferit, represents the highest point in Vallada, where endemic plant associations of the region appear. The views are undoubtedly spectacular. The climb is done on scratched concrete and is very demanding, but it is worth going up to contemplate the landscape.
