マルケサドのおすすめ登山＆山歩きルート

We took the stairs to the Barranc de l'Infern and, once at the bottom, hiked a bit further into the gorge. On the way back, we accidentally took the stairway on the other side of the river. So we arrived at the top, tired but satisfied, just as our water supply had run out. Then we realized we were wrong. The only option was to go back down into the gorge and then back up on the other side... without water or food. We were rather happy to find a natural spring at the top of the road at the end, where we could refresh our thirsty bodies... Fortunately, it all ended well!

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. Photography and nature: Ideal for those seeking iconic landscapes and contact with nature.

Calpe seen from the Peñón d’Ifac is a spectacular experience. From the summit, some 332 meters above sea level, you're treated to a unique panorama: the intense blue of the Mediterranean, the golden sand beaches, and the contrast with the town center and fishing port. On clear days, you can even see the Sierra de Bernia mountain range and, occasionally, the island of Ibiza on the horizon. The hike to the top is demanding, especially the final stretch, which is more technical and requires good footwear, but the effort is well worth it. The feeling of being surrounded by sea and nature, with seagulls soaring overhead and the Natural Park below you, is unforgettable. Ideal for hiking and photography enthusiasts.

Beautiful walk up there.

The first descent of 300m via a large section of the 6800 steps, brings you to the first barranco, Rio Girona

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.
