The route starts from a car park in the northern part of the Serra Gelada Natural Park, in L'Alfàs del Pi. The tourist office gives it as 2 km and does not say whether that is one way or a round trip. You will see the bay of Altea and the Sierra de Bèrnia, cliffs and fossil dunes, the Whale Cave, Ameradors cove, Metge cove, Mina cove and the remains of an ochre mine. At the end, the lighthouse, with an interpretation centre, and the remains of the Bombarda tower. Bring binoculars for the birds.

The park has its visitor centre on the Camí Vell del Far, in El Albir ([email protected]).

Opening hours and prices can change: check them before you go.
