During the ascent you will find samples of fauna and flora of the Natural Park, which is home to more than 80 species of birds and around 400 species of plants. The journey to the top consists of two levels of difficulty, a very simple first section and a second of medium difficulty, which requires more skill and dexterity, but especially suitable shoes. - Route information - Difficulty: First part Easy - Second part Medium/High Linear route (round trip) Total distance: 2km (round trip) Elevation gain: 332m Approximate time: 2-3 hours (round trip) What should you bring if you wanna take part in the hike?

Calpe is also a historical city, where archaeological remains dating from the Bronze Age are found. This city was key during the Roman Empire, and some of the inheritances of this time that are conserved are the Queen's Baths. In this picturesque city, you can find from infinite beaches of fine sand, to hidden coves and pristine waters, where you can rest and sunbathe. Calpe is an ideal place for scuba diving and water sports, so we encourage you to try one.
