A step off the coastal road and into cedar-scented air shifts perspective: terraced orange groves fall away to limestone ridges and sheer gorges, and the Mediterranean glints beyond. On a Costa Blanca guided walk the trail can switch from shaded olive terraces to exposed limestone ridge in a matter of steps, each section revealing a different face of Alicante’s interior.

A step off the coastal road and into cedar-scented air shifts perspective: terraced orange groves fall away to limestone ridges and sheer gorges, and the Mediterranean glints beyond. On a Costa Blanca guided walk the trail can switch from shaded olive terraces to exposed limestone ridge in a matter of steps, each section revealing a different face of Alicante’s interior.
The range is geologically young limestone and marl: karst ridges, sinkholes and steep scarps carved by episodic torrents. Moorish and later Christian farmers left dry-stone walls, irrigation channels and mountain villages that still cultivate almonds and citrus—local culture appears in simple mountain cuisine and the stone architecture of villages like Guadalest.
Walks here span easy reservoir circuits to strenuous ascents: Guadalest Reservoir Circuit (easy); Puig Campana summit (strenuous, 1,406 m); Aitana (strenuous, 1,558 m). Guides provide route-finding, multilingual commentary (English, Spanish, Dutch, German), water, packed lunches on longer routes and optional walking poles—useful because many footpaths are indistinct and public transport is limited.
Practical side: choose your walk when booking, expect 3–8 hours on the trail, and be prepared for strong sun and sudden wind on exposed ridges. Solid hiking shoes, layered clothing, at least 2–3 liters of water and mid-morning starts in summer make for safer, more comfortable days. Respect marked routes—water is scarce in summer and local communities rely on mountain etiquette to protect trails and crops.
