Walk Summary
 |
| Aitana (the highest point in the Valencian porovince) from Puig Campana summit |
Took the classic route recommended in Walk the Costa Blanca mountains by Charles Davis up dry river gully Barranc de les Marietes, a sustained 1 in 2 ascent gaining 800m.
After summit returned to 1281m spot height on the Bancal del Morro and took the zig-zagging path down to Coll del Poulet.
Ordinarily a wild path with lots of wilder shortcuts that should be avoided, but after the ascent it seems like a walk in the park.
Once at Coll del Poulet followed the PR289 to the west around the base of Tajo de Roldán back to the start point.
