The Peñón de Ilfach is the second big climbing rock . It’s a local beauty spot, bird reserve . It stands impressively tall on the imposing skyline of Calpe and set against Mediterranean blue day sky and the black star lit night sky looks like a painters paradise. The walk to the mid point tunnel is a “tough” up hill walk but my three old daughter managed to do it. But the climb after that is tough and rough. Both the bird watch view point and top of the hill are mind blowing beautiful. Few points where we got scared but otherwise managed trek. The view was he real award of the trek .suggest proper geared shoe and clothing , special in wet seasons . The rocks are very slippery even in dry weather condition.

Stunning place to visit. Today we only walked as far as the tunnel. Struggled to download the form to fill in - eventually worked on Chrome - only to fine out there www nobody there checking today (NYE) and the toilets were closed before 14:00.

The reviews of the Parque Natural de Penyal D'Ifach here seem to focus on that trek up to the top of the rock. An impressive achievement no doubt, but even if I could physically climb it I doubt I would have either the need to do so or the head for heights required! There is so much more here. Lots of well thought out and signboarded walks where you can enjoy the scenery and wildlife. The archaeology around Calp is impressive and the Pobla D'ifach mediaeval village is within the Parque and only a slight uphill to visit. We spent some quality time here and left with precious memories.
