Easy Walk. E/A, 6kms, 3 hours. Leader Veronica Dunkley. No permit required. All walk on good paths. We go up towards the Penon and walk as far as the visitors centre and continue back to the seafront and take the coastal path towards Moraira before returning to Calpe and Zafiro Restaurant (optional lunch).
Moderate Walk. M/C, 4kms, Scr3, 2,5 hours, depending on group. Leader David Brain. This walk goes about half way to the summit to a view point.
Moderately Strenuous Walk. To the summit. MS/C, 6kms, Scr3, 3-4 hours, depending on group. Leader Theresa Brain.
The M and MS walks entail walking through a rocky, poorly lit and slippery tunnel. Of the 1,5 hours ascent, 1 hour entails scrambling with a lot of exposed drops and slippery surfaces. Good boots are advised. We find it easier to not use poles as you need both hands to assist climbing and support, and also numerous ropes and chaines are provided to assist.
After the walks there is an optional lunch at 1.30/2pm at Zafiro Restaurant, Fossa Beach, Calpe. (38.6429691, 0.0704700)
