マルケサドのおすすめ登山＆山歩きルート

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.

We do not recommend this path for the regular climber/hiker. We turned back halfway because it was too dangerous. Sharp rocks, a precipice and no marked path.

Cala Granadella is a beautiful, small cove on the Costa Blanca near Jávea (Xàbia). The cove, with its crystal-clear, turquoise waters, is surrounded by impressive cliffs and Mediterranean vegetation, offering a breathtaking natural backdrop. The beach is made of small pebbles rather than sand. It can get very crowded during peak season, so it's worth arriving early. Nearby are restaurants serving fresh seafood and Spanish specialties.

A very beautiful sandy beach with a well-maintained promenade. Many restaurants and small shops are located along this stretch of beach. In the off-season, it's easy to drive along the coast. Some bars are open early in the morning, even during the off-season.
