However, caution is advised on the more demanding paths, as they can be steep and may require appropriate footwear.

Although there are no restroom facilities at the lighthouse, there are toilets available at the nearby parking area. Overall, Parc Natural de la Serra Gelada stands out as a well-organized destination for nature enthusiasts, offering a blend of easy walks and more strenuous hikes amidst stunning coastal scenery.
There are two walks here so don't get them confused! 1. An easy 1 hr stroll from Albir to the lighthouse. 2. A tough, 4 hour hike with some scrambling and a great deal of ascent descent from Albir to Benidorm. Both beautiful but very different

The path to Coronel is cobbled and very steep, offering spectacular views. If you're not in good physical shape, don't attempt it. In contrast, the path to the Lighthouse is easy.

A very well-maintained park with several trails, among which the one to the lighthouse stands out for being very easy for everyone and 2.5 km one way. If you want a bit more, you can hike up to Alto del Gobernador, which is 2 km, or take the circular route to Serra Gelada. The entire path is lined with viewpoints, trash bins, tables, shade, and some fountains. Highly recommended.

A beautiful walk enjoying an incredible day with ideal temperatures, breathtaking landscapes, well-maintained, marked, with water points, drinking fountains, and trash bins to keep this natural area clean. I missed a restroom at the lighthouse, but I suppose it's not feasible. Overall, it's a highly recommended place to visit with great respect and love for nature to continue preserving it. You can go with children and people with reduced mobility, the path is paved, and there are obviously stairs to see certain points, but the way to the lighthouse is perfectly adapted for everyone. I do urge parents not to let their children throw stones down the slopes, even if they don't "see" people down there, as there is also local wildlife that needs to be cared for and protected.

This was a medium level hikes with multiple descents fairly steep. Good footwear a must. Beautiful sights, well marked, took over 4 hours. Not suitable for young kids.

Cracking mountain hike route. Not for the inexperienced though. Make sure you are hydrated, have suitable footwear and fit as it takes about 4.5 hours from one side to the other Parts are like Crib Goch! But really enjoyed it

Great 5km hike by the blue ocean. The hiking is quite easy and pretty much possible for all ages. Make sure to wear comfy clothes and shoes, a bottle of water and enjoy the journey.
