Beginning in Castell de Castells, a picturesque and sleepy mountain village, we begin a steady climb that will eventually bring us high up to the ruins of El Castellet. This is one of so many ruined castles in this part of Spain that bear testimony to the long period of occupation by the Arabs in mediaeval times. From here we have a stunning crest-top ramble at around 900 metres above sea level, with breathtaking scenery all around us. Especially lovely are the views down over the Guadalest Reservoir. Soon we turn east to walk back at a lower level before reaching the start point of our long descent of some two kilometres back to Castell de Castells.
