Cabanes

1. La Colina o Cresta de la Calavera Free

A great hill covered in Rodeno stone (red sandstone) rises behind the Agujas de Santa Águeda. Located in the town of Cabanes, very close to Castellón de la Plana, it offers stunning views of Peñagolosa and the entire mountain horizon. Mostly south-west facing, the area features boulders in all orientations. It remains cool thanks to the breeze and the abundant vegetation. The entire area consists of high-quality Rodeno stone, which is excellent for bouldering. It is known for its ridges with plenty of "jugs," as well as numerous and high-quality crimps. There is a wide variety of grades, ranging from 4 to 7a, making it an especially great spot for beginners. There's a light breeze, and there are boulders in all directions, both sunny and shady, although the best time of year to go is Spring, so you can enjoy the whole area in good weather. There are some comfortable areas for children, but generally the base of the boulders is small and somewhat exposed, so it's best not to bring them.
