A morning light washes over El Portet de Moraira as the group gathers—sea foam flicking at the rocks, a warm breeze tugging at the map. The trail begins with a steady climb toward Cap d'Or, where limestone ribs rise like folded pages and the coastline opens from Peñón de Ifach in the north to Cabo de la Nao in the south.

A morning light washes over El Portet de Moraira as the group gathers—sea foam flicking at the rocks, a warm breeze tugging at the map. The trail begins with a steady climb toward Cap d'Or, where limestone ribs rise like folded pages and the coastline opens from Peñón de Ifach in the north to Cabo de la Nao in the south.
The route follows ancient fishing tracks that once linked small coves and secret moorings. In Cala Llebeig, stone dwellings cut into the rock tell of 19th-century fishermen and occasional smugglers who used these inlets as shelter. Geologically the walk runs along Costa Blanca’s calcarenite and limestone platforms—soft in places, sheer in others—creating vertical walls that the trail skirts with wide, well-marked paths below the Cumbres del Sol.
Expect two distinct halves: a moderate, rock-strewn approach over steady stones toward Cap d'Or, then an easier, signposted descent to Cala del Moraig and its placid swimming ledges. Midday offers a flexible swim break at Cala Llebeig; the guide can extend or shorten it. The day winds down at a glamping pool bar where tired legs meet chilled water and a slow sunset.
Practical notes: start at 9:00, carry at least 1.5 L of water, sun protection, and sturdy boots with good grip. Trails are exposed—plan for wind and strong sun—and the operator tailors pace to the group. Suitable for hikers with moderate fitness and sure-footedness who want long coastal views tempered by old-world coastal culture.
