After a short, steep climb, right next to the Ermita de San Miguel, at an altitude of 727 m above sea level, you can see all the way to the Columbretes Islands. Due to the curvature of the Earth, these are not (yet) visible from the coast. Up here, you can see so far. Fantastic! However, you shouldn't linger here for too long, as it can be quite windy and, with all the large antennas and their equipment, it's not exactly quiet. For the view, however, this is the best place.

At this point, where the small reservoir for native wildlife is located, we can continue toward the Enqueixa farmhouse or the Subarra spring. The trail is in good condition leading to both points.
