During our stay in the Alicante area we have decided to make this hike to the impressive looking Calpe rock, also known as the "Penon de lfach". Calp / Calpe is a small touristy town in the Alicante district. The town was not so much our favorite because of the massive buildings, however it offers a very good infrastructure for the visitors and a really nice beach!
The first meters of the hike are easy to walk for everybody from young to old. There is a tourist center on the way which is warning you not to pass under the age of 18 years! However, it's more like a recommendation because I would say a teenager or child minimum 11 years old can try the hike.
Until reaching the tunnel it's quite convenient with an average incline. At the tunnel it's getting a bit more difficult, because it can be slippery. But it was actually not that bad. Afterwards the hike path has a medium difficulty but you need proper shoes and it should not be too windy otherwise it can be a little bit scary! So please watch out the weather forecast before!
Once arriving the "Mirador de Carabiners" you have a great view over both sides of the rock. The hike takes in total 45-60 min.
