Aitana Ridge Circuit from Partagas
The walk from Partagas provides superb panoramic views and passes two Neveras. It has the added interest of an exciting scramble via the Fat Man’s Agony pass which opens up additional magnificent panoramic views to the South. Crossing the long undulating ridge you will be on top of the highest mountain range in Costa Blanca. Good agility, stamina and a head for heights are required.
