View towards the north looking into the hills. |
Just north of the bustling and crowded Alcossebre pueblo center there is a rugged park, Parc Natural de la Serra d'Irta (Torre Badum). There is a walking trail beginning at the lighthouse that follows the coastline with the mountains in the background. The vegetation in the area is sparse so it is best to go on a cloudy day or sometime in the day when the sun is not too hot.
As with most parks in Spain the area is not completely devoid of development and the trail winds past a few luxurious houses as well as some hidden beaches. Although there aren't any massive trees the shrubs and brush fit well with the massive boulders and rocky shoreline. It's a highly recommended walk but make sure to bring everything you need with you (food, drink, shade if you're on the beach) as there aren't any shops or services available.
