Hike from Calpe city to the top of the calpe rock.
Calpe rock hike
This hike was actually pretty straight forward until we reached the tunnel. Before that there have been already several signs saying only 18+ people should go that way. However,is was kind of normal, so even an 4-year old could walk the way up. But then in the tunnel it changed immediatly. This slope upwards was not that bad, but it was really slippery although some railings were installed on the left and right. After you have passed the tunnel the hiking path gets much more difficult. So I would really recommend to only proceed with children older than 8 or 9 years.
Your are passing an area with lots of sea gulls! There were flying literally next to your head and making quite a lot of noise! We had an alomost perfect day with less wind and no rain but I always thought how much more difficult it would be if it wouldn't be that good! Because right after this passage it stony path comes along where not real track was visible so you really have to, more or less, climb along the way! It's not the most dangerous thing I ever did, however, have not expected that.
Right after that you get a normal narrow hike path and in 10 to 15 minutes you are reaching the top of the rock! The view is brilliant, so if you are there, fit and the waether is nice, you can do the hike! But please consider the right shoes for this journey :). For more just watch the walking trip video please!
