This was the route that premiered the area and possibly the most repeated. The marine environment has deteriorated the original equipment, so it was partially retrofitted with bolts. Highly recommended.

Equipment: quickdraws. A set of nuts could be useful.

LOCATION AND ACCESS

BASE

We can access the area by the N-332 or the AP-7, taking the exit nº64 Altea/Calp, to continue on the N-332 direction Calp/Valencia. About 500 meters before crossing the tunnels of the Barranco del Mascarat, we must deviate to the right by the road that gives access to the Urbanization Mascarat. From here the walls are visible and we can leave the car in any of the streets overlooking the cove.

Position: 38°38'3 "N 0° 0'35.5"E

APPROXIMATION

The recent urbanization that this area has undergone has eliminated the natural accesses to Cala del Racó del Corb, so we will have to go around the top of the bungalows and access the slope that descends to the sea.

DESCEND

Most of the routes end in a grassy turn, about 50 meters below the end of the wall. Once in the turn we will walk to the left, ascending until we find the meeting of the Isla encantada route, through which we will make two abseils of 40 m.

If we finish our climbing at the top of the wall, we will have to ascend by the slopes of the Sierra de Toix to surround the cove to the north. Very obvious.
