Tips from the Community
The Skywalk is located above the cliffs of Santa Pola (Ot), right next to the Santa Pola lighthouse. In good weather, you can see as far as Alicante (to the east) and the island of Tabarca. The best time to visit is in the afternoon when the sun is at your back!

Great view but the descent after the paraglider take-off point is very dangerous

It's a pushbike section... but very interesting.

These are the only remains of a new town built by the Marquis of Elche in the mid-18th century. The colony did not prosper and its inhabitants sought a new location in the current Marina, a district of Elche. The town was called San Francisco de Asís and was one of the consequences of the draining of the marshlands of the final stretch of the Segura, carried out by Cardinal Belluga.

Brilliant view at the lighthouse. The best time and best view is in the afternoon, as you then have the sun behind you with a view of the sea. Otherwise you're looking at the sun 🌞 and the photos don't turn out particularly well when backlit.

Coastal road from Santa Pola to Arenales del Sol. Very touristy area, especially with motorhomes.

Eye-catcher, a beautiful specimen. Gravel track in a great region.

good route on Vinalopo to get through Elche. At the end, turn steeply up to the left to get back on the road towards Pantanal
