The viewpoint is a famous reference point for identifying the 'Sierra Calderona' skyline from the coast.
The geological structure at the viewpoint consists of characteristic Jurassic limestone, which differs from the surrounding sandstone formations.
It marks the meeting point of three distinct municipal boundaries: Estivella, Segart, and Serra.
The site provides a clear line of sight to the 'Penyagolosa' peak, the second-highest mountain in the Valencian Community, under optimal conditions.
The surrounding forests were significantly reforested in the late 20th century to mitigate erosion common in the Calderona mountains.
Mirador de Garbí is a prominent observation point situated within the Sierra Calderona mountain range in the province of Valencia. It sits at an elevation of approximately 600 meters, offering an expansive vantage point overlooking the Valencian coastline and the Mediterranean Sea. The site is a primary feature of the Garbí area, which serves as a junction between the municipalities of Estivella, Segart, and Serra. On clear days, the visibility extends to the city of Valencia and occasionally the island of Ibiza. The surrounding terrain is characterized by limestone cliffs and Mediterranean scrubland typical of the Valencian Community's inland topography. It is a central hub for hiking routes that traverse the Sierra Calderona Natural Park. Access is facilitated by a paved mountain road that leads directly to a designated parking area near the cliff edge. The area is maintained as a public open-access natural lookout without artificial structures or commercial facilities.

Bring binoculars to identify specific coastal towns and ships at sea.
Check local wind forecasts, as the exposed cliff edge can experience strong, sudden gusts.
Carry sufficient water as there are no natural springs or services at the summit.
Attempting to climb down the cliff face directly; follow marked hiking trails for safe movement.
Practice 'leave no trace' principles; the area is a protected natural environment.
