Just north-east of the castle of Santa Barbara in Alicante lies a small mountain that looks like a large mound when seen from the castle, but which is a low, elongated coastal mountain ridge. From the sea, it looks as if nature is growing out of the city, and when you are up there, it feels like you are in another world. The ascent can be tiring, but the reward is great in the form of a unique view of the coast, the city, the harbor and the surrounding mountains. Serra Grossa
