The circular route to Penyal d'Ifac from Calpe offers a dual hiking experience, starting with a gentle stroll along a paved, shaded path that leads to the Ifach Rock Tunnel. Beyond this, the terrain transforms into a challenging rocky ascent that requires scrambling and using chains, rewarding you with 360-degree panoramic views from the Peñón de Ifac summit. This is a difficult 7.1-kilometer hike with 389 meters of elevation gain, taking approximately 2 hours and 49 minutes, ideal for those seeking a challenge with significant visual rewards.
To embark on this adventure, it is essential to book a free permit in advance through the official Parques de la Comunidad Valenciana website, as access is limited to 300 people per day to protect the ecosystem. Make sure to wear hiking footwear with good grip, as the limestone rock can be slippery, especially after rain. The first part is suitable for everyone, but the upper section is not recommended for small children or individuals with limited experience on steep terrain.
Penyal d'Ifac is not only an impressive geological landmark but also a natural park that hosts exceptional biodiversity, with over 300 plant species and around 80 bird species. From the Carabineros Viewpoint and the summit, you can admire the city of Calpe, the Mediterranean, and the Salinas, offering a unique perspective of the Costa Blanca. This location is an olistolith, a mass of rock pushed up by tectonic plates, making it a singular natural phenomenon.
