Serra Gelada & Albir Lighthouse Walk
Serra Gelada i Far de l'Albir
A paved coastal path from Albir along the cliffs to the lighthouse, about 1.5 hours return, with views over the Altea bay; one of the most popular walks on the Costa Blanca.
The Sierra Gelada is a ridge that thrusts into the sea between Benidorm and Albir. Its cliffs rise more than 400 m, and together with the surrounding waters they form a nature park. The most popular route starts from the seafront of Albir (L'Alfàs del Pi) and follows a paved road for about 3 km to the Albir Lighthouse on the headland, passing old ochre mine ruins and a tunnel, with views of Altea and Peñón de Ifach along the way. The lighthouse has a small exhibition. The road surface is good, but there is almost no shade, so bring plenty of water. Fit hikers can cross the ridge from the Benidorm Cross viewpoint.
