Hello Komoot`ler, a hike on the local mountain of Calpe, the 332m high Penyal d'Ifac, is very demanding, because strictly speaking it is a via ferrata. It begins very harmlessly and then gets really exhausting after the tunnel.
Up was once again easier for me than down.
This was a real highlight for the first Advent.

It's very strenuous and not entirely safe. The path is very slippery and exposed. You have to be sure-footed and not afraid of heights. But a great experience.
