Sporting event
From trails that begin at the beach and continue along cliffs that plunge into the sea, offering endless views of the Mediterranean. Paths steeped in history that lead us to 16th-century anti-corsair defense towers or to the best-preserved funerary tower on the peninsula.
Routes that begin on the coast and continue in search of the mountains. Typical Mediterranean flora, fauna, and vegetation mark the way. Stroll among pine trees, follow the pilgrim’s yellow arrow, enjoy unique sunrises and sunsets, cross the ancient border of the kingdoms of Aragon and Castile…
Don’t forget that “Hiking and happiness go hand in hand” according to Diane Spirce, so in La Vila Joiosa you have multiple possibilities to be tremendously happy
