Tour overview

This 8-day hiking holiday explores the little-known mountains behind the Costa Blanca from a family-run inn in the Guadalest Valley. A local tour leader guides the group, which numbers between four and thirteen. You stay seven nights at Rincón de Pepe, with sea views, breakfast daily, five lunches and six dinners with local wine.

You walk past the limestone needles of Penya Roc, climb Serrella peak and descend a gorge to Rincón de Olvido, then take on the challenging summit of Puig Campana for views over the coast.
