Hiking
The Peña Negra Site (Penya Negra in Valencian) is a very interesting archaeological site with very good views. In addition, it is one of the most extensive Phoenician settlements known in the southeast of the peninsula. Also known as the city of Herna, it allows us to understand how people lived thousands of years ago.

It is not a Phoenician settlement, it is an Iberian village. Regards

Mallol recalls that at the same time as the summer excavations in Crevillent, the University of Alicante's summer course entitled "The City of Herna / Peña Negra: Tartesians and Phoenicians in Southeastern Iberia" was taking place and the exhibition "Life and Death of Peña Negra" was opening at the Municipal Archaeological Museum.
