PEÑISCOLA

Peñíscola is one of the most iconic destinations on the Costa del Azahar, known for its stunning walled old town rising above the sea and its impressive medieval castle.

At the heart of the city stands Peñíscola Castle, a Templar fortress built on a rocky peninsula overlooking the Mediterranean. It was also the residence of Pope Benedict XIII, giving the town a unique historical importance.

The old town is full of charm, with narrow cobbled streets, ancient walls, and constant sea views at every corner, creating one of the most picturesque settings on the coast.

Its dramatic landscape has also made it a popular filming location, including Game of Thrones, adding to its international fame.

A perfect mix of history, culture, and breathtaking seaside scenery.

ISLA TABARCA

Isla Tabarca is a small Mediterranean island located off the coast of Alicante, famous for its crystal-clear waters and protected marine environment.

As a designated marine reserve, it is home to rich underwater biodiversity, making it a top spot for snorkeling and diving.

The trip includes a bus transfer to Santa Pola, followed by a catamaran ride to the island, where you will spend the full day exploring and relaxing.

CALA MORAIG

Cala Moraig is a spectacular hidden cove located between Jávea and Moraira, surrounded by cliffs and unique geological formations.

Its clear turquoise waters make it ideal for swimming, snorkeling, and exploring marine life.

It is part of a protected natural area, preserving its wild and untouched beauty.

MONTANEJOS + ACTIVITIES

Montanejos is one of the most complete day trip destinations in the Valencian Community, combining natural hot springs, mountain scenery, and outdoor adventure.

Its main attraction is the Fuente de los Baños, a natural thermal pool with warm water at around 25°C all year round, perfect for swimming and relaxing even in winter. The site is set in a stunning limestone canyon shaped by the Mijares River, offering impressive natural surroundings.

The area is also ideal for hiking, with scenic trails along the river and through dramatic canyon landscapes. For those seeking more excitement, activities such as rafting and kayaking are also available.

Overall, Montanejos offers a perfect balance of relaxation, nature, and adventure.

Perched on a hill, it offers narrow cobbled streets, artisan shops, and stunning panoramic views over the Mediterranean Sea.

Once a traditional fishing village, Altea is now known for its artistic and bohemian atmosphere, attracting painters, writers, and creatives.

Its coastline features both rocky coves and peaceful beaches with crystal-clear water, perfect for swimming and sailing.

CALPE & PEÑÓN DE IFACH

Calpe is a coastal town on the Costa Blanca, dominated by the famous Peñón de Ifach, a massive limestone rock rising 332 meters above the sea.

Visitors can hike to the summit for incredible panoramic views of the coastline and the Mediterranean.

Originally a fishing village, Calpe has developed into a popular seaside destination while still preserving its traditional charm.

Its long sandy beaches, such as Playa de la Fossa and Arenal-Bol, are especially popular during the summer months.
