The Route of the Cliffs of Alicante (often known as Penya-Segats) proposes an journey that connects two of essentially the most lovely seashores of El Poble Nou de Benitatxell, a city situated between the paradisiacal cities of Moraira - to the south - and Xàbia - to the north -.
From a superlative blue to previous policemen's homes that appear frozen in time, we placed on our trekking footwear (and our booties in our backpacks) to succumb to one of the crucial fascinating coastal climbing routes in our nation.
Upon reaching the Cala del Moraig automobile park, the blue coloration takes over the complete view. Far under, the chromatic fantasy embraces a sandy seashore that appears like sugar, and the cliffs promise to share all their secrets and techniques when you dare to descend the marked route. Giant, small and pets: the Alicante Cliffs Route takes simply an hour and a half at a sluggish tempo and is a low-difficulty journey that invitations you to let your self be carried away by all of the charms between the Moraig cove and the Llebeig cove .
From the start line, nothing higher than melting into the pines, down the highway, via a path as soon as frequented by horses loaded with contraband tobacco, and fishermen who used to danger their lives to catch squid at midnight. The traces of historical past seem as soon as we go away the Moraig cove behind to camouflage ourselves within the bowels of the shoreline.
An instance is discovered within the cave of les Morretes, the primary of the excavations erected by historic farmers that we'll discover alongside the route: "the caves on the route have been short-term properties, usually utilized by individuals who had dry land and carob bushes close by, and so they used to remain in a single day”, says Quico Llobell Marqués, Tradition technician of the El Poble Nou de Benitatxell City Corridor. "Within the case of Les Morretes, it's the solely cave that accommodates an oven, since they used to make bread."
The perspective of the Cueva de les Morretes additionally means that you can acquire a novel panoramic view of the Moraig cove, the Cova dels Arcs and the Moraig fault, an nearly vertical rocky wall, fashioned through the Late Miocene - 11 million years in the past - which protects the underwater entrance to the Riu Blanc.
A walker behind, one other waving as they move, whereas the background tapestry takes us again to an everlasting summer time within the type of clouds that seem among the many pines, seagulls reaching the peaks and the magical uncertainty of not realizing what the trail will convey us. Some indifferent rocks camouflage the Cova del ti Domingo l`Abiar. And somewhat additional on, on the shoreline referred to as Els Pegats, the Pepet el Morret cave completes the gallery of previous dwellings constructed into the cliff itself.
you might be shut whenever you attain Punta de L'Aldera and start the descent to a novel Mediterranean oasis, nearly a mirage. Within the distance, a bunch of white homes appear pushed by the Widow's ravine towards the ocean, forming a timeless postcard the place we might keep the remainder of the summer time.
Thought-about one of many final semi-virgin seashores in Alicante, Cala Llebeig speaks of contraband, new blues and fishermen's shacks by the ocean. The historical past of the Alicante coast can't be understood with out this nook managed by the carver through the pirate and berber conquests of the sixteenth century to make sure that nobody had accessed land. Over time, Cala Llebeig grew to become the principle entry shortcut for smugglers who introduced tobacco, sugar and even Manila shawls from the massive ships docked within the metropolis of Alicante, a motive that led to the promotion of the development of police posts to manage this exercise on the finish of the nineteenth century.
The passage of historical past nonetheless breathes amongst these white homes with blue doorways, and exterior cane roofs the place the day by day catch was once hung. And within the again, a ship that somebody forgot, one other with the identify of a mermaid tattooed or the presence of covets, excavations within the reddish rock itself to retailer fishing gear.
The Llebeig cove is manufactured from gravel and invitations you to take off your sarong. Its association is disorderly, between massive rocks and posidonia fields, so typical of a wild seashore the place the fishermen's shacks host varied festivals organized by the heirs of those that as soon as lived on this hidden paradise. There's a mortar of all i oli on the desk, a beer toast and a boy with a float that takes us again to that classic summer time, so distinctive, so common. The summer time that deserves to be protected - as an allusion to the current hearth that just about claimed the complete setting...
And there, after finishing a Route of the Cliffs that breathes somewhat extra saltpeter into the center, you narrow the tortilla to your sudden picnic. In the meantime, you wait for somebody to look out the inexperienced window of the hut to let you know what the ocean introduced as we speak and invite you to take pleasure in a seafood stew within the bowels of historical past.
