COSTA
BLANCA HIKING
The
Costa Blanca has some of the most wonderful and
diverse scenery in Europe though much of this can
only be admired from distance. Hiking and mountain
walking on the Costa Blanca erase these barriers
where you can become close up and personal to parts
of the mountainous region that very few have
witnessed before.
You don't
just come close to fauna and flora but you get back to
nature big time and see unique and fascinating animal
life in their natural habitat.

These
enthusiastic walkers do not just climb for
the reward of a panoramic view. As beautiful
as the vistas are from great heights one
could say the same about a spiralling eagle,
a deer hidden in the undergrowth or even
wild boars.
The mountains
and hills of the Costa Blanca are filled
with a historic past that can only be
explored on foot. Moorish and Christian
castles and trails form a hidden network
invisible from below. The hills reveal a
hidden World. Magical surroundings that come
alive for everyone that is fit enough to to
tackle the most rugged of terrain. |
Beautiful as they are
the hills and mountain regions of the Costa Blanca can
be extremely dangerous. You should always walk with
experienced people and wear the correct clothing, carry
enough liquids that can feed a demanding body in hot
climatic conditions. Safety is paramount and you need to
ensure that you are watching where you place your feet
and hands at all times.
If you have a serious
accident you put yourself and fellow walkers at risk.
Due to this we would only recommend walking with clubs
who know the area and can provide excellent guides to
ensure you get the most out of the area.
Many of the groups have
walks to suit all standards of fitness and experience
and it is a great way to meet new friends who also have
a passion for the outdoors.
Many of the routes are
colour coded and you need to ensure that you choose a
route that matches your grade of experience and fitness.
Maps and compasses are a must and the ability to use
them skilfully.
The Costa Blanca is a
wonderful area for walking with a wealth and diversity
of mountains and hills that will test even the most
advanced mountain walker or hiker.
