The Calpe salt flats occupy a depression filled with Quaternary alluvial deposits. The position of the Peñón de Ifach is a decisive factor in the formation of this interesting wetland. It is a lagoon of tombolic origin, created from the development of a double sandbar.

Beautiful view. I go there all the time.

Art al Camp in Xàbia is an extraordinary sculpture park that impressively combines nature and art. Numerous sculptures are thematically distributed throughout an expansive garden with lush plantings, winding paths, and small waterways, creating a special atmosphere. The focal point is the walk-in iron whale sculpture by the artist Toni Marí, dedicated to his mother, offering visitors an unforgettable experience. It is complemented by other impressive works such as a six-meter-tall ant, colorful figures, and artistic water features that add variety to the tour. At the end of the park is the artist's workshop, where you can watch him forge and weld, witnessing the creation of new sculptures. With its blend of art, nature, and artisanal creativity, Art al Camp is a worthwhile destination and an inspiring place.

If you’re looking for a peaceful and scenic day out in nature, Marjal de Pego-Oliva Natural Park is a hidden gem worth exploring. It’s a beautiful wetland area located between the towns of Pego and Oliva on the Costa Blanca, full of wildlife, rice fields, and freshwater springs. 🚶‍♂️ What to Do There • Walk or cycle the trails: There are several easy routes, including wooden boardwalks over the marsh, great for families or casual walkers. One of the most popular paths is the Ruta del Bullent, a circular walk that brings you close to rivers, rice fields, and the famous natural spring. • Swim in the Font Salada: This is a warm natural spring (about 21–24°C all year) where you can take a dip. The water is known for its skin-healing properties. • Birdwatching: The area is rich in biodiversity, with herons, ducks, and even rare fish and turtles. Bring binoculars if you can. • Enjoy the peaceful views: There are viewing platforms offering panoramic vistas of the marshes and surrounding mountains. 🧭 Tips for Your Visit • Follow the marked trails to protect the environment and avoid getting lost. • Bring water and sun protection, especially in summer. • Respect nature: take your trash with you, keep noise down, and don’t disturb animals or plants. • Avoid weekends in high season if you prefer quiet – it can get busy, especially at the spring. 🚗 Getting There & Parking Access is easy from the N-332 or the CV-700. If you’re visiting Font Salada, note that parking has recently been restricted. There’s a new small car park nearby (Racó del Fuster), and the spring is a short walk from there. It’s a perfect half-day trip, especially if you’re staying near Denia, Oliva, Jávea or inland in places like Pego or Alcalalí. Ideal for nature lovers, photographers, families, or anyone needing a peaceful break in nature.
