Serra Grossa de Alicante, Mountain range in Alicante, Spain.
The Serra Grossa extends between Alicante city center and the coastal neighborhoods, reaching heights of 161 meters above the Mediterranean Sea.
During the Spanish Civil War, the mountain served as a strategic location for anti-aircraft defenses protecting Alicante from fascist air raids.
The mountain paths contain preserved inscriptions and drawings made by Republican soldiers during their defense of Alicante in the late 1930s.
Hiking trails start from Bishop Victorio Oliver Street, leading through a 5-kilometer route that takes approximately 90 minutes to complete.
Underground galleries and large deposits were carved into the limestone rock beneath Serra Grossa for an oil refinery that operated since 1875.
