Fantastic views and nice rocks to sit and have your lunch. Large flat area for large walking groups. Accessible from Murla on a steep SAC T3 path via the Hermita and Penya Migdia which does not include any chains or staples - BUT - if you continue west along the route there are chains and staples SAC T4 and T5 to negotiate. The T5 is a descent heading west to east and appears more daunting than if you were making an ascent. In my humble view it does not warrant a T5 rating. In reality any average competent walker will not experience any significant problem.

This section is "off-piste" to get to the top of Cavall Verd. It involves staples, a chain and some steep rock. This part of the trail must be descended the same way as you clambered up.

One of the ideal towns for mountain biking in the Marina Alta is Castell de Castells. From there you can climb to the Cima del Cocoll. It is an ascent of moderate difficulty in which you can climb to the geodesic vertex which is next to a forest observatory. From the top there is a beautiful panoramic view. The route to this summit can be started from Benigembla. Or, from Castell de Castells passing quite close to the natural area of Els Arcs. The last section towards the Cim del Cocoll along the PR-CV 427 runs near the Paraje de Els Arcs. In fact, you begin to climb along a track in good condition at just over 722 meters above sea level that leads towards the location of the Corrales de Plans d'Aialt. Although, the first 400 meters along this track do not have a slope. There is no doubt that it is a spectacular natural environment. And, walking along the track that leads to Cocoll, you will also see Es Crestall and Es Pla de Sa Cova.

Joan Pellicer described it as "a watchtower of light, a swaying arch and well drawn by chance, an eye looking at the sea, a portal open to those who seek, the moons and sea breezes, the Peña Foradada, grotesque, beautiful and Gaudinian..." .

An incredible view. The steep ascent requires some strength, but is doable and mobile.

Great view over the Gallinera valley, the rock arch. Nature is recovering quickly from the 2022 fire.
