STUNNING VIEWS WALKING FROM GRAN ALACANT TO SANTA POLA LIGHTHOUSE

Santa Pola lighthouse

To enjoy the amazing views in Gran Alacant, one of the best choice is a walking route wich begins at the end of Scandinavian Avenue. The end of this  avenue is a small roundabout where you can leave your car, but not on the asphalt, because it´s a turning point for the bus.

You can easily find the beginning of the trail, which is not complicated and doesn’t have slopes. You will take in the sights along the entire way, and you will arrive to the Santa Pola lighthouse in 10 or 15 minutes.

In days with good visibility, you can see with binoculars the city of Benidorm, and even further away. If you continue after the lighthouse walking in the same direction, you will see Tabarca Island ever closer.

If you lose the path in any moment, take as a reference the lighthouse.
