Penyal d'Ifac Natural Park, Natural park and limestone summit in Marina Alta, Spain

The limestone rock formation rises 332 meters above the Mediterranean Sea, connected to the mainland through a narrow isthmus near Calp.

The Phoenicians used this prominent coastal rock formation as a reference point for navigation, naming it the Northern Rock during their maritime expeditions.

The natural park contains numerous hiking trails that lead visitors through different Mediterranean ecosystems, from coastal scrubland to alpine-like environments.

The visitor center opens Monday to Friday from 8:30 AM to 2:30 PM and weekends from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM at Illa de Formentera Street.

The park houses rare plant species such as Silene hifacensis, which grows exclusively on the limestone cliffs of this protected natural area.
