The Sierra de Alcaraz is part of the pre-Betic system, a subdivision of the Betic mountain ranges. The predominant vegetation includes reforested pine forests between 1,000 and 1,600 metres, and low scrub near the summit. The most common ascent route is along the south face, starting from the Pino de los Muchachos spring. Although it is not a difficult mountain to access, the climb requires some physical preparation.

Well marked trail except for about 500m that you have to create your own path. But in general a highly recommended route.

This narrow path connects the road with the base of the Almenara peak through a dense pine forest that covers the hillside.

It is a reborn medieval town in Albacete. In the 20th century, the town was abandoned, but today new stone houses are being built, including rural accommodation, which has turned this isolated place into a tourist jewel, due to its atmosphere. In the highest part of the town there are remains of the Arab castle.

Riópar is located in the Sierra del Segura and has an impressive natural environment. In the town, it is worth seeing the Royal Factories of San Juan de Alcaraz, the Paseo de los Plátanos, the Plaza de Luiz Escudero, the Puerta del Arco, the Embalse del Molino and the old town.
