Approach
You start at the "Font del Molí" Parking Lot. To get there you have to ride to FINESTRAT an small village close to BENIDORM. From Benidorm get the N-332 highway to the south and then the Cv-767 to the village. The parking lot is like over the village.
From the parking lot follow the road further up till you get to a big bend ( 300mts further from the parking lot) on the road. Follow the trail looking for white and yellow marks on it (This is a trail that surrounds the mountain). After 45 minutes you have the wall at yoour left hand, leave the trail and go directly to the base.
