Pico de la Rápita
Highest top of the Espadán range at 1106 m, reached from the Nevera pass with wide views over three comarcas.
The Pico de la Rápita is the highest top of the Espadán range at 1106 m, above Algimia de Almonacid. Climbers park at the Collado de la Nevera and walk the classic local ascent to a summit with wide views over three comarcas, a compact outing in the heart of the natural park.
The climb
The summit is verified at 1106 m in open mapping, inside the Algimia de Almonacid term about 3 km from the village. The ascent from the Nevera pass is graded as moderate and unsuitable for small children, so it fits walkers with some mountain habit rather than first-timers.
Tips for your visit
Distances and height gain on this ascent are unverified, so allow a full morning and carry water, as the range gives little shade. You need a car to reach the pass. The day combines well with the nearby Salto de la Novia walk and with the Calderona viewpoints around Serra.
