To plan your trip
EDITORIAL GUIDE · Beaches & coves
Xàbia's coast changes character between beaches, gravel, rock and headlands. Choosing a cove takes more than an attractive picture: consider how to get there, where to enter the water and what you will do if access or sea conditions are unsuitable.
EDITORIAL GUIDE · Snorkelling
Tabarca's underwater appeal is linked to the protection of its seabed and seagrass meadows. A snorkelling outing should begin by understanding where the activity is permitted, checking the sea and recognising the responsibilities that come with visiting a marine reserve.
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.
EDITORIAL GUIDE · Mountain biking
Mountain biking reveals Alicante at a different scale: hills, rural tracks and towns that change the pace of a trip. Costa Blanca's official catalogue is a useful starting point for comparing options without mistaking a spectacular photograph for a route suitable for everyone.
EDITORIAL GUIDE · Sports facilities
Ciutat Esportiva Camilo Cano brings together a substantial part of La Nucía's sporting offer in the Marina Baixa. Whether travelling to train, compete or accompany a team, start by identifying the facility you need and then confirm the practical details of your stay.
EDITORIAL GUIDE · Popular routes
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.
EDITORIAL GUIDE · Popular routes
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.
EDITORIAL GUIDE · Popular routes
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.
