Cabeçó d'Or, Mountain summit in Costa Blanca, Spain

The Cabeçó d'Or rises to 1209 meters above sea level, featuring complex geological formations with numerous ridges and spurs along its slopes.

Muslims discovered the Canelobre Caves on the southern face of the mountain in 740 AD, using them for various purposes throughout different historical periods.

The mountain's name originates from a linguistic evolution, as the Iberian word for water was mistakenly translated to the Valencian word for gold.

Two primary hiking routes to the summit begin near the Canelobre Caves parking lot, with climbing activities restricted from January to June for bird protection.

The mountain's summit lies within an isolated section of Alicante municipality, containing abandoned mines and farming structures across its terrain.

Elevation above the sea: 1,209 m

GPS coordinates: 38.52781,-0.39533
