At the bottom of L’Atzúbia is Carrer Nou, which is nothing more than the concreted Barranc de Mostalla. In fact, with heavy rain it becomes a torrent again. There is no signage, but there is only one road that starts upwards. At the detour towards the antennas, it is closed due to "works". For the moment, no works are visible, and you can pass by the side of the "gate". The path to the summit is in perfect condition. face: ADSUBIA Altitude: 753 Elevation gain: 663 Length: 6.26 Avg %: 10.60 Max %: 22

From the TOP of the mountain one can have great view of La SAFOR and MARINA ALTA areas (nice view of Gandia and Oliva towns). Unfortunately, due to very rich vegetation (high trees) it is not possible to enjoy a 360 degree view similar to option which one has by hiking up Montuver mountain. Short video about this hike could be found under the following link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j-mfyWy6RzQ

The start of the hike is a bit frightening due to the location (rainwater drainage basins and dog excrement), but after 500 m you go into nature. The hike is well signposted and easy to do with sturdy shoes.

Molló de la Creu, also called Molló de la Falconera or V.G. de la Falconera is one of the places that every person who is in Gandía should visit. The viewpoint offers us spectacular views, we can see the impressive Cim de Mondúver and the coast of Gandía on the other side. You can return to Gandía along the same path or, if you are an experienced hiker, take the circular route, but keep in mind that the descent is very steep.
