Montcabrer, Mountain summit in Sierra de Mariola, Spain.
Montcabrer is a mountain summit in the Sierra de Mariola that rises to 1,390 meters elevation and ranks among the highest peaks in Alicante province. The mountain has a distinctive pyramidal shape that offers wide views from the top across the surrounding valleys and ridges.
The name comes from shepherds who herded goats across the mountain paths, since 'cabra' means goat in Spanish. Use as grazing land shaped this mountain's character for many centuries.
Along the mountain paths you can find old snow wells, structures that local communities once used to store snow and make ice. These buildings show how people adapted to life at this elevation.
The hiking route starts from Muro de Alcoy and follows a network of local trails around the mountain. The cooler months offer the best conditions, as the elevation means strong sun exposure during warmer seasons.
During winter months this peak frequently receives snow cover, creating different hiking conditions from other hills in the region. The snow transforms the landscape and offers completely new perspectives on the familiar route.
