The Sierra Gallinera, also known as the Sierra de la Foradada, is a prominent mountain range in the Valencian Community of Spain, forming the southern boundary of the Vall de Gallinera. This range is characterized by its rugged limestone peaks, with the notable Penya Foradada reaching an elevation of 737.3 meters. ^[1]

Geologically, the Sierra Gallinera is part of the Prebetic System, a series of mountain ranges resulting from the Alpine orogeny, which began approximately 60 million years ago due to the collision between the African and Eurasian tectonic plates. The range's limestone composition has led to the formation of numerous caves and karst features, contributing to its unique landscape. ^[2]

The Sierra Gallinera holds significant cultural importance, particularly due to the Penya Foradada, a rock formation with a natural arch. Twice a year, in March and October, a solar alignment occurs where sunlight passes through this arch, illuminating the site of a former convent, an event celebrated by locals and visitors alike. ^[3]

For outdoor enthusiasts, the Sierra Gallinera offers various hiking opportunities, including routes that traverse its peaks and connect to the eight villages of the Vall de Gallinera. These trails provide panoramic views of the valley and the Mediterranean Sea, making it a popular destination for nature lovers and hikers. ^[3]
