Walking on the Costa Blanca

This guidebook describes 50 circular walks and scrambles exploring the Costa Blanca mountains around the resorts of Alicante, Benidorm and Calp. These routes range from 3-20km in distance, and offer a taste of everything the area has to offer. There is something to suit most abilities except, perhaps absolute beginners. Most of the walks are of moderate difficulty, but some are strenuous and exposed and experience of scrambling is essential. The Costa Blanca enjoys more than 300 days of sunshine a year, and just beyond the packed beaches lies a completely different world of accessible, rocky mountains rising to 1500m, with knife-edge ridges that stretch away in long chains of gleaming limestone pinnacles. Walking on Costa Blanca also includes background information on local geology, wildlife and history, and planning details on where to go, where to stay and what to take.
