La Cruz de Benidorm, Summit cross at Sierra Gelada Natural Park, Spain.
The metal cross stands 438 meters above sea level on the mountain peak, offering views of Benidorm, its beaches, and the Mediterranean Sea.
The first wooden cross was placed in 1961 from San Jaime Church, later replaced by a metal structure made from railway tracks in 1975.
Local Catholic monks established the cross as a symbol to maintain community values during social changes regarding beach attire in the mid-20th century.
Access to the cross requires hiking up steep steps, as vehicles are restricted, and visitors should bring water since no amenities are available.
The viewing platform sits at 217 meters elevation, featuring information boards and multiple seating areas for visitors to rest and observe.
