Pení, Mountain summit in Cap de Creus, Spain.

El Pení rises to 606.6 meters above sea level, offering panoramic views of both Cadaqués Bay and the Bay of Roses in Catalonia.

The United States military established a radar station at the summit in 1959, which now serves as the Spanish Air Force surveillance squadron EVA-4.

The mountain paths leading to El Pení connect multiple traditional Catalan villages, representing centuries of local mountain navigation and customs.

Hikers can access El Pení through marked trails from Roses or Cadaqués, with spring and autumn providing the most favorable weather conditions.

A United States B-26 reconnaissance aircraft crashed on the mountain slopes during World War II while conducting a mission toward southern France.
