Peñón de Ifach Nature Reserve - One of the most striking landmarks in the whole of the Costa Blanca is the stunning 332m tower of the Peñon d'Ifach which towers over Calpe. You can climb to the top of one of the smallest natural parks in Spain. It is the symbol for the Costa Blanca although just looks like an immense bulk or lump of limy stone that reaches 332 metres in height and extends it arm into the sea measuring about 35 hectares. It was declared a Protected Natural Park in 1987 due to the great richness in flora and fauna that it holds. Over 300 species of flora can be appreciated and there is even one called the ‘sylene of Ifach’ which is only found there. As far as fauna, the coleopterous, silver seagulls and the swift are of great interest. If you are interested in serious climbing then click here.
