The Origin of the Continents Besides the beauty of Cap Negret's landscape, this enclave has significant geological significance. Along with the Columbretes and Cofrents Islands, Cap Negret is one of three volcanic landscapes in the Valencian Community. These volcanic rocks, which give the area its name, belong to the neck of an ancient submarine volcano that erupted some 220 million years ago. At that time, the Earth still consisted of a single supercontinent, Pangaea, but it then began to fracture in a tectonic process that would lead to the formation of the present-day continents. These enormous fractures released large quantities of magma, and this volcanic outcrop is a beautiful testament to the beginning of that rifting. During this process, the African and Eurasian plates enclosed part of the ancient Tethys Sea to form the Mediterranean Sea. The fluctuations in the water level have remained constant throughout the area's existence. Evidence of this is the Tyrrhenian fossil beach, approximately 100,000 years old and located north and south of the harbor. These highly fossilized marine deposits exhibit an extraordinary wealth of fossil species, and in particular, the highest concentration of specimens of the gastropod mollusk species Strombus bubonius found anywhere on the peninsula's coastline. The presence of these fossils, characteristic of warmer climates, indicates that sea temperatures, and thus global temperatures, were higher than they are now, which also meant higher sea levels due to melting ice. The geological transformation of the area continues today with marine erosion, which is gradually eroding the coastline.

Búnquer de la Platja de l'Olla アルテアのラ・オジャとカプ・ネグレのビーチには、アルテアに残る最後の2つの機関銃掩蔽壕があります。1937年にスペイン内戦中に共和党軍によって建設されたこれらの掩蔽壕は、この地域の歴史の重要な一部であり、訪問者にとって観光名所となっています。 当初は、スペイン人、イタリア人、またはドイツ人のファシスト連合軍による潜在的な海上攻撃からアルテアの海岸線全体（L'Albir、Altea、Mascaratのビーチ）を保護するために、最大8つの掩蔽壕が建設されました。逸話によると、それらは決して使用されず、単に放棄されたとのことです。 軍事用語では、この種の防御施設は「砲郭」と呼ばれます。コンクリートで建設され、そのうちのいくつかはアルテアの建設業者であるMateu Signesによって作られました。これらの機関銃座の寸法は、長さ5メートル、幅4メートルです。掩蔽壕の高さは1.85メートルで、壁の幅は約70cmですが、掩蔽壕ごとに違いがあります。掩蔽壕の内部では、機関銃（決して設置されなかった）が窓や銃眼から突き出ています。 アルテアのビーチにある掩蔽壕の修復により、アルテア市議会が近年価値を高め、修復のために復元してきたMolí dels Moros、アルテアの古い洗濯場、Portal Nou、または市立歴史文書館など、多くの歴史的記念碑がすでに存在します。

Right along the promenade...

Fantastically beautiful there, a place to linger, with benches and a great view of the rocky coast. Many cyclists take a break here. Very close to the harbor, so you can drive from there via the parking lot along the harbor wall or directly to the harbor basin.

Small (rocky) island off the coast of Altea or in the Bahia de Altea. The path there runs directly by the sea. It's worth it!

It is fantastically beautiful there, a place to linger, with benches and a great view of the rocky coast. Many cyclists take a break here. Very close to the harbor, so that from there you can cycle along the harbor wall via the parking lot or directly along the harbor basin. Illeta dels Banyets is the name given to the offshore "old" peninsula, which was separated from the mainland by an earthquake in earlier times. In 1943 it was reconnected to the mainland to form a natural breakwater. Remains from prehistoric times, the Bronze Age and the Middle Ages have been found here and excavations are still ongoing. Many school classes visit this place, you can take a tour yourself.

A very beautiful harbor, which you can reach from one side directly from the promenade or via the parking lot past the barrier. You can drive right along the harbor basin, and there are restaurants where you can take a break. Along the harbor wall, you come to a viewing point, where there is a small pier. Beautiful!

The restaurant and bar is located near Altea and is easy to reach. 🚴🏻‍♂️ It offers spectacular views of the sea and Mediterranean dishes, or even a beer and tapas by the sea! Highly recommended! https://chiringuito-el-portet.jimdosite.com
