Crevillent walks

This is a two-part hike. First, you’ll walk along the spectacular ridges of Les Moreres. Then, you’ll climb to the summit of El Frare, a superb rocky peak overlooking the valley. This hike is best done in fine weather, as you’ll often be on rocky terrain and must take care not to slip.

A walk accessible to all, between the city and the palm grove. Ideal for discovering Elche and its horticultural heritage (listed by UNESCO). This route follows the PR®-CV 439, the official path of the Valencian Community, but with a different starting point for accessibility and easier parking.

Proposed by Aspe town council and approved by the FEMECV (Valencian Federation of Mountain and Climbing Sports), this is an easy route, ideal for getting to know part of the Algezares municipal nature reserve.

This is a beautiful hike starting from the stunning Santuario de Santa Maria Magdanela (a must-see). You then set off in search of the source of a small river and finish with a dip in the thermal baths.

This hike takes you around the Santa Pola salt flats. As the site is in operation, it is not possible to cross it. You will therefore need to skirt around it by following the GR®232. It is a long walk, but easy as there are no hills. There are long straight stretches, sometimes several kilometres long, but the landscape will quickly make you forget the monotony. In places, the paths may be damp or even slightly flooded, depending on the season. Important note: at (17), you will need to take off your shoes to cross the Río Vinolopo for a few metres. So if you don't like water or are afraid of it, it is best to avoid this hike as you will have no other choice. But don't let that put you off: the salt flats are part of a wild nature reserve that is home to extraordinary flora and fauna.

This is an almost entirely flat, easy hike that allows you to discover the wild surroundings of Santa Pola, but it is always in full sun. You will discover traces of human activity from the early 20th century, such as a mill and water management systems for agriculture, as well as the beautiful landscape of the Barranc de Salt.

This hike takes you around the Serra de Fontcalent, allowing you to see it from all angles, but from below! It's an easy alternative to climbing to the summit, which is 700 metres high. Ideal for hikers who don't want to or can't climb. Admittedly, the view will not be the same. But this circular still offers some beautiful views: between the industrial and agricultural areas, you will see the major roads and railways. In short, life around Fontcalent.

This circular will take you along the coast, below the mountains. The return journey is higher up (144 metres above sea level), passing by the Torre de las Escaletes and the Santa Pola lighthouse, which offer spectacular views of Santa Pola and Alicante. The route is easy and relatively flat. The only slight difficulty is the climb to the Torre de las Escaletes. However, this is equipped with ramps and stairs. And once you reach the top, you won't regret it! The Sierra de Santa Pola is a fossil reef and a protected site, which also houses remains from the Civil War that you will come across along the way.

Hike to one of the closest peaks to Alicante, crossing desert areas and ultimately rewarded with a 360° view of Alicante and all the peaks surrounding the city.

The Ermita de Nuestra Señora de Los Dolores is situated in an area near Elda, at the crossroads between Monovar and Elda, in an area known as Partida de las Cañadas. Consequently, the Ermita is commonly referred to as the Ermita de las Cañadas. It is located in a former agricultural area, irrigated by rainwater. Even today, it remains an almost desert-like area, and the path leading there, which is not particularly difficult, passes through desert-like terrain, offering a complete change of scenery.

A circular loop that branches off onto the last (and most beautiful) section of the PR®-CV 282, a marked trail that follows the route of the old "Cañada Real", a network of transhumance routes dating back to the time of King Alfonso X el Sabio. You will set off from the Ermita de Nuestra Señora del Carmen to cross small inhabited areas with modest country houses before starting a circular route through the mountains where you can enjoy beautiful views of the coast. Half of the walk is on small, quiet asphalt roads and the other half on a very accessible path with gentle slopes. You won't even notice the 275 m elevation gain. It is also possible to bypass two crossing points, which shortens the walk to 10 km.

This hike takes you up to one of the peaks in the province of Alicante, which is over 1,000 metres high. While the climb to the summit is not particularly difficult, the start of the hike involves exploring some well-hidden caves. This means passing through areas where there is virtually no path and having a good sense of direction. This hike is therefore not suitable for everyone.

This is a hilly hike that takes you to the Tibi Dam, one of the oldest dams in Europe (1580) still in operation, via a circular route through the surrounding hills. The route offers beautiful views of the coast at the start and finish, but overall, it is more typical of the "Sierra Alicantina" landscape. The route goes up and down quite a bit, but the slopes are not very steep or very long. It is therefore a relatively accessible hike for people with a minimum level of fitness.

A hike in an almost desert environment to climb two peaks: La Mosca and L'Escobella. Don't forget to bring plenty of water, as the entire route is on paths exposed to the sun.

A superb hike with exceptional views of Lake Tibi and impressive peaks to climb. However, it is a difficult hike with some very steep climbs and a path that is quite difficult to follow. A GPS track is essential to avoid getting lost.

This hike takes you up two little-known peaks over 1,000 metres high near Castalla. Most of the time, you will be walking on wide paths lined mainly with almond trees in deserted areas.Prohibited during hunting season

In the Alicante region, snow wells are called "pou" or "pou de neu" in the Valencian dialect. They are round wells dug into the ground with stone walls and a dome. There are usually two doors, one for putting snow in and the other for taking ice out. They are, of course, located at high altitude. The snow industry, which can be traced back to 1630, was very prosperous until the advent of refrigerators in the 1960s. Here we suggest a short, easy hike to discover one of the most beautiful snow wells in the region.

This is an easy hike, mostly on wide paths, to climb a peak at an altitude of 1,229 metres. The ascent is fairly gradual. You will pass by a superb snow well. Optionally, you can also visit a fountain.

A little way from the historic centre and tourist routes, this short walk will show you the town of Jijona from a different angle through the eyes of the Ermita de Santa Barbara, a small 15th-century chapel, forgotten by all, perched on a hill of the same name. From its summit, you will not only have an unusual view of Jijona and its castle, but also of Alicante and the entire surrounding valley. Although there is a slight incline, this walk is relatively easy and accessible to all.
