The Peñón de Ifach is the symbol of the Costa Blanca. This limestone rock is 332 meters high and one kilometer long. The rock is connected to the land by a narrow isthmus, the result of a landslide from the nearby Sierra de Oltà. At the top you have beautiful views over the impressive coastline of the Costa Blanca. You can see for miles, as far as Moraira and on clear days you can even see Ibiza from the top of the Ifach.
