Introduction
Calpe
Calpe’s skyline is dominated by the mighty Peñón de Ifach and it’s no surprise that the views here are next level.

Just a short walk from Monte Toix, and you’ll feel like you’re floating between Calpe and Altea. The cliffs drop steeply below.
Mirador Peñón de Ifach
It’s a hike, but reaching the top of the Peñón is worth every step. You’ll see Calpe, the marina, and even Ibiza on a clear day.
Benidorm
Benidorm isn’t all high-rises. It’s also home to some stunning viewpoints, especially if you walk just a little off the beaten path.
Balcón del Mediterráneo
Right in the heart of old town, this white-and-blue tiled balcony juts out into the sea. Super photogenic, always lively.
Cruz de Benidorm
This one’s a little climb, but the cross and panoramic view over the skyline make it iconic. Go early morning or late afternoon.

Mirador Cap de Sant Antoni
A must. Overlooks the entire bay of Jávea with the Montgó mountain behind you and nothing but blue ahead.

A view over the turquoise lake, especially photogenic after some rain.
