Penyagolosa, Mountain summit in Alcalatén, Valencian Community, Spain.

The Penyagolosa summit reaches an elevation of 1,813 meters, featuring a prominent north face and multiple climbing routes through the natural terrain.

The mountain was long considered the highest peak in the Valencian Community until measurements confirmed Cerro Calderón surpasses it by 26 meters.

The Sant Joan de Penyagolosa hermitage at the mountain's base functions as a significant pilgrimage destination throughout the eastern Spanish region.

Climbers can access the summit through established paths from Sant Joan hermitage or take an extended route from Villahermosa de Arriba.

The summit experiences snow coverage during winter months, creating occasional skiing conditions that occur only two or three days each year.
