Aitana West
An intriguing walk under the craggy slopes of Aitana via several fonts, up an interesting rocky ramp and along its ridge before returning with fantastic views from the highest summit in the area.

VS – Very Strenuous: More than 800 metres ascent and/or more than 20km in length with steep, loose or heavily vegetated sections.
B – Less than half the route on rough ground.
Scr – Scrambling: This implies the need for handholds to ascend steep rock pitches with a sense of exposure to vertigo and where a slip could lead to a serious accident.
