Hiking

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.

This path gives access to the Aguiló tower, one of the best preserved, oldest and most important of the defense system against Berber corsair attacks created in the Kingdom of Valencia during the time of Philip II (16th century).

The monument has recently been restored and the access road has been improved and equipped with rest areas.

The Camino de Santiago Vilero is a historic pilgrimage route that starts in Villajoyosa and leads to Santiago de Compostela, following ancient traditional paths through the interior of the province.

The first stage connects Villajoyosa and Relleu over 18 kilometers and takes approximately 5 hours to complete, with a moderate level of difficulty.

This route will take us to the heart of the mountains of La Vila Joiosa. It traverses the highest peaks of La Vila Joiosa, passes by the emblematic Cantal crag, whose name derives from the Latin word "cant," meaning thick stone, and runs alongside the old border between the kingdoms of Aragon and Castile.

It's a long but easy route, as it mainly follows forest tracks. This trail boasts a rich natural environment, allowing us to enjoy a variety of birds and typical Mediterranean vegetation, such as pines and honeysuckle, a climbing plant that, in shady areas, winds its way through the existing vegetation, creating a tangled web. In fact, this route takes us through one of the few remaining pine forests near the coast.

The Colada de la Costa is a circular coastal route of approximately 8 kilometers, taking about 2 hours to complete, with a low to medium difficulty level. It runs along part of the Villajoyosa coastline between Playa del Torres and Torre del Aguiló in La Cala. This trail, designated as a Blue Trail, follows the route of an old cattle track along the Mediterranean coast and allows hikers to discover cliffs, coves, historic towers, and some of the best-preserved natural landscapes in the municipality.
