The Peñón de Ifach is one of the most emblematic places on the Costa Blanca and, in my opinion, is impressive both for its natural beauty and its ecological value.
Unique landscape: It is an enormous limestone rock over 300 meters high that juts out into the sea, creating a spectacular image.
Natural Park: It is home to great biodiversity, with protected plant and bird species.
Hiking with incredible views: There are routes that lead to the summit, from where you can see the entire bay of Calpe, the Mediterranean Sea, and, on clear days, even Ibiza.

Il Peñón de Ifach (in Valencian Penyald'Ifac) is an imposing limestone rock mass located in Calpe, in the Valencian Community, considered the symbol of the Costa Blanca. This gigantic rock rises 332 meters above sea level, extending for one kilometer in length and connecting to the mainland via a small sandy isthmus.
Declared a Natural Park in 1987, with only 45-50 hectares, it is one of the smallest natural parks in Europe, but at the same time one of the most visited in the region.
