The mountain range of Aitana is the roof of the province of Alicante with its 1558 meters of altitude. In this route we are going to climb Aitana from the Font de Partegat, in Benifato.

From Beniardà we must reach Benifato, about 5 minutes by car.  Before we enter Benifato we find a detour on the right that ascends by an asphalted track in not very good shape leading us to Font de Partegat.

Departing from Font de Partegat we follow the PR-CV 21 path, going up the track until a first crossroad where we go straight ahead (the PR-CV 464 turns off to the left at the second crossroad) where we continue to the right, along the PR-CV 21 towards the Tudons pass. We continue along a track that ends in a small hut next to a snow well, in the Font Vella. A few meters before the hut we find the beginning of the trail, marked with a signal indicating the direction to the botanical path of the Passet de la Rabosa, on the right hand side of the track that is cut off by a chain.

 The path climbs through a field and goes towards the Font de Forata. Once there, we find the fountain with some small pools that receive its name from the nearby Penya Forata. Near the fountain there is a snow well and a signpost of the PR-CV 20 and 21.

From the Font de Forata we follow the indication of the PR-CV 20 towards the Passet de la Rabosa. We climb this steep path that ends in a narrow hole in the rock that allows us to pass to the Partegat chasms.

The trail descends, goes around the chasms and turns west to climb to the top. The highest points we can reach are the milestones next to the military base. The geodesic vertex is out of our reach, inside the military installations. From here we can enjoy a good view of the Serrella and Aixortà mountain ranges, the Bernia mountain range and the Ifach rock. To the south, the Puig Campana.

Although we can descend by the same route, it is also advisable to follow the path of the mountain range, in an easterly direction after the area of the Partegat chasm. The trail runs along the upper part of the mountain range, surrounding Penya Alta and passing through the upper part of the runar dels Teixos until descending to the Tagarina pass, where we meet the PR-CV 10 between Benifato and Sella. Turn left and go down the track without possibility of loss back to the Font de Partegat.
