Nature: Peñón de Ifach and Las Salinas Natural Park
The Peñón de Ifach Natural Park holds many secrets and serves as a defining symbol of the Costa Blanca.

Pleasure boats glide across sheltered waters, with the rock acting as a grand backdrop to the shoreline. The view from above is unforgettable, making the trek along the road worth the effort for many visitors.
Equally worthy is Salinas de Calpe, the city’s natural wealth hub. Here, visitors can observe a dynamic array of birds, including flamingos and other shorebirds, in a landscape that reflects the region’s unique ecological charm.
