Hiking in Alicante: Where the Mountains Meet the Sea
Alicante is more than beaches — it’s a paradise for hikers. From the dramatic cliffs of the Serra Gelada Natural Park to the sweeping peaks of the Sierra de Bernia, the region offers a rich tapestry of nature where mountains meet the Mediterranean Sea.
With over 300 days of sunshine a year, the Costa Blanca stands out as an ideal destination for hiking enthusiasts.
Walking through pine forests, limestone ridges and coastal paths, you’ll feel the freedom of the open air and the deep calm that nature brings.
Top Trails to Explore
- Serra Gelada Coastal Route: Spectacular sea-views, native flora and a sense of elevation above the Mediterranean.
- Sierra de Bernia Circular Trail: A combination of mountain energy and panoramic vistas — perfect for mindful hikers.
- Font Roja Natural Park: A green oasis of oak forests and natural springs (a slightly gentler option for those looking to ease into it).
Each trail invites you to slow down, connect with your breath, and let the rhythm of nature guide your steps.
Mindful Hiking for Inner Balance
At Inspire Altea, we view hiking as more than just exercise — it’s a conscious journey inward. Your guide, Sergio Cisneros Galea, is certified as both a Mountain Leader and Yoga Teacher. His dual expertise allows him to blend the physical aspects of hiking with mental-wellbeing practices, helping you reconnect with your natural rhythm in a safe and mindful way.
Whether you travel solo, as a couple or with friends, each hike can be tailored to your pace and purpose.
A Mediterranean Haven for Conscious Travellers
Altea isn’t just a starting point — it’s a destination in itself. With whitewashed houses, cobbled streets, and the shimmering sea, it offers a relaxed rhythm and creative spirit that make it a natural hub for wellness and adventure seekers. Just minutes from town, the mountains invite exploration.
You’ll find yourself immersed not only in nature, but in the local culture — ancient footpaths, mountain villages, and the quiet pulse of Mediterranean life.
