Hiking Cabeçó d’Or: Discover One of Alicante’s Most Iconic Peaks

Cabeçó d’Or, standing at an impressive 1,209 meters, is one of the most emblematic and visited peaks in the Alicante province. This challenging hike rewards you with breathtaking 360-degree views of Alicante and the surrounding high peaks of the Valencian community. The name “Cabeçó d’Or” could be interpreted as “Gold Head” or “Treasure Mountain” (D’or in Valencian), but it actually originates from the Arabic term “Water UR.”

Experience Stunning Views and Unique Wildlife
Cabeçó d’Or is a protected natural area, offering not only unparalleled vistas but also the opportunity to spot protected bird species like the majestic Royal Eagle (Águila Real). The hike is rated as Medium-High difficulty, so good physical fitness is essential. As you explore this remarkable landscape, remember to respect the environment and take care during your hike to help preserve its natural beauty.
