Really nice 30' walk in Albir from the city to the lighthouse at the end of the hill. Recommended during the morning for a nice run o walk.
Getting around
Recommended use a Car
In the Costa Blanca the best way to move around is the car, so you can enjoy more places and activities. The public transport is not the best option, except from Benidorm.
