周辺の山頂・トップ16

Nice scenic mountain summit with panoramic 360 degree views. If accessing from the southwest there are a couple of short chains which appear a bit unnecessary but are useful. Egress down the ridge to the northwest has been complicated from 2024 onward due to the large and controversial housing development site. The contractors apparently are under instruction to always provide a suitable route for walkers but you may have to detour slightly.

It's worth climbing after 5:30/6 p.m., as the rock casts shadows the entire way up. It takes between 50 minutes and 1.5 hours, depending on photo breaks ;) I recommend taking the path to the photo spot at the end and then climbing to the summit. The view is already sensational, but even more incredible at sunset. You should start your descent promptly after sunset (around 8 p.m. in summer) to make it back down in time without a headlamp (it takes just under an hour).

Want a slightly steadier start to Cumbre del Sol? Choose the other side, just outside Benitachell (on the road from/to Jávea). This side is still very tough, but the gradients are a bit more even. The final kilometre is identical to the famous Mercadona climb, with ramps above 15% and the same breathtaking summit view.

The climb to Cumbre del Sol / Puig de la Llorença starts a small distance from Benitachell, at the turn-off next to Mercadona (on the way to Moraira). It’s a short but brutal 4 km climb with ramps of 10–12% and pitches above 15%. At the summit, you’re rewarded with stunning views of the Mediterranean, Calpe, and even Ibiza. This climb is famous as a Vuelta a España stage finish, won by stars like Chris Froome and Tom Dumoulin.

Climbing to the top of the Peñón de Ifach is one of the most stunning hikes on the Costa Blanca. It's a somewhat difficult route, due to the steepness and rugged terrain. Once at the summit, however, the effort is worth it, as you'll enjoy spectacular views.

The summit of Peñón de Ifach is 332 meters above sea level. To reach the top, follow the Red Route of the Peñón de Ifach Natural Park. This route begins at the visitor center and passes through a tunnel before reaching the summit. The hike is challenging, especially after the tunnel, where the terrain becomes steeper and more slippery. Hands are required for support in some places, as is appropriate footwear. The views from the summit are spectacular, offering panoramic views of the Mediterranean Sea and the Calpe coast.

A challenging climb, somewhat slippery in places, but well-marked with red markers along the trail. Some difficult sections are secured with chains and ropes. A flashlight or your cell phone camera is advisable when passing through a roughly 60-meter-long tunnel.

A tough climb, especially the final section. The views once you're up there are worth every effort. I'm sure you'll be back for it.
