This is how Joan Pellicer described the famous rock with a hole in it, in his book Meravelles de Diània: “Watchtower of light, taut arch well-drawn by chance, eye staring at the sea, portal open to sunrises, moons and sea breezes, the Penya Foradà grotesque, beautiful and Gaudiesque…”.

The views that can be enjoyed from above, if accompanied by a clear day, are exceptional: to the west, the entire ridge of the mountain range that receives the name of the hole (the Sierra Foradada), with the Castell de Benissili, Llombos and Xarpolar, and in the background Almudaina and the Serra Mariola; to the east, the continuation of the ridge up until the top of L'Almiserà, with the Castell de Gallinera at its feet, and the sea in the background; to the north lies the sunny, south-facing side of La Safor, and the Serra de L’Almirant with its final branches of the Serra de Les Fontanelles and the Serra Mostalla; looking northwest, towards Benicadell, it is possible to see the Serra de La Cuta and Morquí; and to the south the Vall d’Alcalà, with the extensive mountains behind it, connecting with La Vall d'Ebo's Serra de La Carrasca and the Serra Serrella behind it.
