EDITORIAL GUIDE · Local legends
The notch in Puig Campana invites storytelling. One popular tradition connects this Finestrat mountain with Benidorm Island through a giant and a love threatened by sunset. It is a landscape legend with different versions, not a geological explanation or a documented historical episode.
EDITORIAL GUIDE · Beaches & coves
Guardamar del Segura offers a spacious, light-filled way to enjoy the Mediterranean. Its beaches range from the atmosphere of the seafront promenade to stretches backed by dunes and woodland, with different access arrangements and facilities to consider before choosing your spot.
EDITORIAL GUIDE · Greenways
Between Agost and the Maigmó pass, an old railway alignment exchanges the coast for viaducts, eroded terrain and Mediterranean hillsides. This walking or cycling outing works best when the chosen section, direction and weather match the experience of your group.
EDITORIAL GUIDE · Greenways
The Serpis corridor reveals an Alicante of rivers, gorges and industrial heritage. Around l'Orxa, the former railway towards Villalonga invites a slower journey, with the understanding that the route continues into Valencia province and needs its own practical planning.
EDITORIAL GUIDE · Greenways
Torrevieja can also be explored through the legacy of its salt railway. The greenway combines a setting close to town with the presence of the lagoon, offering a different perspective for a walk or bike ride that is distinct from a day at the beach.

The walk to l’Albir lighthouse brings together sea views, cliffs and local history in an outing that can fill a morning without becoming a full mountain expedition. The perspective changes as you approach the lighthouse within Serra Gelada Natural Park. It is an inviting introduction to this landscape for visitors who enjoy walking with frequent stops, with a clear destination and a return along the same path.

La Vall de Laguar reveals a Marina Alta of ravines, villages and stone paths. The PR-CV 147, known as the Catedral del Senderismo, turns that landscape into a day of repeated descents and climbs. Its appeal comes from both the terrain and the traces of earlier journeys through it. Choose this outing because you want to spend hours hiking, rather than as a short walk to fill a gap in your sightseeing schedule.

Puig Campana changes shape as you walk around it. The Volta introduces its different slopes and the relationship between the mountain and the Marina Baixa landscape without setting out to reach the summit. Starting in Finestrat, it offers a substantial hiking day and a fresh perspective on a silhouette visible across much of this part of the Costa Blanca. The terrain deserves attention, and the outing benefits from proper preparation.

Seen from above, the reservoir is one of the defining features of the Guadalest valley. Walking around its surroundings replaces that panoramic image with a closer encounter with farmland, pine trees and the enclosing mountains. The municipal itinerary from Beniardà involves little technical difficulty, although its length still deserves a substantial part of the day. It offers a rewarding combination of scenery and time in the villages of the valley.

Benissa's coastline is worth discovering even when you are not planning a long beach day. The section of its ecological promenade towards Les Bassetes offers time to notice the rocks, plants and relationship between small bays and the wider seascape. This guide deliberately chooses a short, clearly defined stretch. It can fit into a stay around Benissa and Calp without becoming an attempt to walk the whole coastline in one outing.
