The Penyagolosa is widely considered to be most emblematic mountain in the Valencian Community. Since it stands quite isolated, it was thought to be the highest peak in the region, but actually the highest is the 1,839 meter high Cerro Calderón, located in the Rincón de Ademuz, a Valencian exclave where there are three more peaks over 1,500 m.

At the base of the mountain is the important pilgrimage destination of Sant Joan de Penyagolosa.[1]

The Penyagolosa Massif includes other minor mountain ranges, like the Sierra de la Batalla which stretches westward towards Aragon.

gollark: I'm pretty sure neither do that.
gollark: I assume the issue here is that it's calling itself and the stack is overflowing somehow, but I don't know.
gollark: Can someone help debug this? I made this program here (https://pastebin.com/fPZwpqMe) which is meant to send term calls both to the actual term and a remote computer, but it just freezes for a few seconds then crashes when the term.redirect runs.
