The views from the top of the peñon de ifach are something special. The paths are well indicated, I would advise appropriate foot ware and cloths and a small touch wouldn’t go a miss. I would advise against good too early in the morning as the paths can me damp, plan the trip to make sure you are back at... More

Steep walk up the hill, but views spectacular of the port, Calpe and the hills beyond. Wear good walking shoes, back pack and plenty of water if a hot day. Once at the tunnel the rocks are very smooth and slippery. Must say I was too afaid to go on once through the tunnel as I was afraid of slipping... More

Going to the top of the rock in Calpe is worth every minute. Go early before the sun beats down on you relentlessly. And please wear GOOD shoes. We saw a foolish woman go up in slippers, what a lack of common sense! The first bit, up to the tunnel is an easy stroll. The short tunnel through the rock... More

Hike is not difficult (although the numerous signs warn it is), the views from the top are surely worth the effort (if the weather is good, you can see the balearics).

On a day trip from Torrevieja. Took general advice and only walked as far as the tunnel as after that it gets a bit slippery and the path narrows. This rock has been on our to do list for awhile. It is quite an unspoilt spot with wonderful views, guarded by fierce looking gulls. There are parts of the rock... More

Definitely worth a visit if you are in calpe and enjoy the scenery. Easy (uphill) walk to the tunnel. Stunning views from here. If you are fit there is a path to the very top of the rock. Warning - please wear good walking shoes with grip. The walk is so well frequented the rocks are as smooth as glass... More

as mentioned earlier, very pretty walk but wear long trousers due to bushes and rocks...wear good boots, the "paths" are not paths, they are jagged rocks, sometimes smooth and slippery, sometimes quite sharp - plan to crawl and climb not just walk! dont bring kids, there are steep slopes and no safety rails (part of its charm) beyond the tunnel....

Brilliant walk with spectacular views on all sides. The first part of the walk is fairly straight forward for people with a general level of fitness, but from the tunnel on, it is quite a bit more work - climbing over rocks holding on to rope handrails. I wouldn't recommend this for those less fit, or with a fear of... More
