Serra Gelada reveals the rugged side of the coast between Benidorm, l’Alfàs del Pi and Altea. Its hills, cliffs and protected marine area form a landscape worth giving a day of its own during a Marina Baixa stay. You might begin with the l’Albir lighthouse itinerary or plan another park walk, letting your available time and the needs of the group guide the choice.
The lighthouse as a starting reference
The l’Albir lighthouse itinerary reaches the lighthouse interpretation centre and the Torre Bombarda area. This is a different outing from traversing the ridge. Check route conditions and the centre's opening arrangements separately before organising your visit.
A park that continues beneath the water
Protection also extends across a substantial marine area and its seabed. That relationship between land and water defines the park's character. To explore from the sea, check permitted areas and activities with the manager or operator; information for a land visit does not establish navigation conditions.
Organise your arrival
The Carabineros environmental centre in l’Albir is a reference point for park information. Confirm the start and finish of your chosen itinerary, particularly if it does not return the same way. Carry water and sun protection, check wind and heat, and stay on the authorised path away from cliff edges.
Before your visit.
Are the lighthouse walk and the Serra Gelada traverse the same outing?
No. They have different characteristics. Read the exact route description and consider ascent, surface, exposure and the return journey. Do not assume one park itinerary is as straightforward as another.
How can I check whether the walk suits my mobility?
Ask about gradients, surfaces, resting places and access from transport or parking. Explain your needs to the information service; accessibility should be checked for the actual section you intend to visit.
Check the official sources.
Before travelling, check current notices, access arrangements, reservations and programmes with these sources.
