On holiday and definitely worth the walk. Great view for how easily accessible it is. The main road is relaxed walking and the outlooks post, may require some more effort. Overall id say it is accessible for beginners as well. I was however disappointed that it seemed there were more tracks but its basically just one road to the lighthouse and back. If you’re looking for challenge, this isn’t it, but dont deny yourself the view: Seeing as my apartment was only 15min walk away, I have no regrets. Minus one star for not offering a more variety in main paths. <tip> you can access the Alt del Governador path from here which is amazing vieuw at 438 metres. Path is only for suitable shoes and no fear of hights ;)

Great place for a walk not far from seafront. Can walk up hill to entrance or there is a car park. Toilets and seating at the entrance and a few benches at view points . No facilities or toilets at light house itself. Free small museum to look in. Great track wheelchair and pram friendly. People also on bikes or electric scooters. Great views across to altea . 1.5km if you stick to main track smaller tracks off if you want to explore well signposted. Once you reach 1km mark you can look at the lighthouse in the distance and either carry out to the top on return to the entrance. Worth the effort how ever far you walk

Camino del Faro. The road to the light tower. It’s a nicely paved hiking trail to the light house in the nature park. Easily accessible for buggies and wheelchair. 2,5 km towards the light tower and 2,5 km back. The scenic views on the mountains and beaches are amazing! Should you wish to explore you can go down to an old copper mine along the trail. Keep a lookout on the sea as you might spot dolphins if you’re lucky! Some rocks contain fossils. Keep in mind the trail doesn’t offer any shading from the sun. Bring ample of water and sun protection on a hot day. Enjoy!

Maravilloso entorno natural junto a la ciudad para desconectar y hacer ejercicio ligero. Hay varias rutas, como la que va a la mina, pero la más corta y directa, la del faro, permite caminar con muy poca dificultad, ya que es camino liso de asfalto rodeado de naturaleza y son unos 4 quilómetros, aptos para ir con carrito, silla de ruedas, perros o hacer running. La mayor parte del trayecto es liso con algunas pendientes moderadas de subida y bajada, sobre todo al acercarse al faro. A lo largo del trayecto hay varios puntos para detenerse a hacer fotos muy instagrámicas, incluso antes de llegar al faro (o centro de interpretación, pero aunque esté cerrado se puede llegar hasta él y verlo cerrado), que por supuesto es el broche final. Se observan algunas grutas en la roca y restos de construcciones fuera de la ruta y hay un par de miradores que han sido arreglados para disfrutarlos mejor y con mayor seguridad. También hay unos pocos sitios para sentarse en el camino, pero las personas que no aguanten caminando mucho, es mejor que lleven algo para descansar cuando lo necesiten. Como es bastante liso y es un camino muy delimitado, no hay peligro de perderse o tropezar cuando oscurece y la existencia de farolas le quitaría gracia, pero la linterna del móvil es más que suficiente para poder volver. Como punto negativo, con el buen tiempo y cuando se llena, puede ser difícil aparcar cerca del punto de inicio y no hay lavabos aparte de los del aparcamiento, que tienen un horario muy restringido. Muy, muy recomendable como ruta natural ligera

We took a wrong turn and ended up driving up a mountain to find this park by accident, it's lots of little valley's with multiple different ecosystems, not my shame we just looked down on it, would be a place you could explore for days, I didn't see any facilities it's probably just left wild with lots of ancient walk ways.. sorry I must of deleted the picture I took, so instead I'll leave you with an image of a different mountain range from my villa.

Lovely tarmac path suitable for pram's all the way up to the lighthouse, which is a 5k round trip with some very rewarding views at the top, even dolphins if your lucky. There are also trails all throughout the old Ochre mines as well as Ochre cave's but those trails are more technical. There's also some lovely little cove's which are great for snorkeling, all of the beaches are pebble beaches like Albir. I hope this is helpfull.
