Nordic Walking Along the Foothills of the Sierra de Crevillente

The winter time on the Costa Blanca provides the perfect weather for Nordic walking and hiking. On a good day the temperature can still reach 18c - 25c, with clear blue skies and light winds.

Crevillente is a small town, located approx. 25 kilometres from the coast, west from Santa Pola. Behind the town is the Sierra de Crevillente, a natural park and two resevoirs, one of which can be accessed from the N-325 or through San Pascual.

The landscape is typical for the area, consisting mainly of low-lying scrubland and small patches of farmland. Although once some height has been gained, there are good views to the coast, Callosa de Segura, Orihuela, across the Sierra de Crevillente and depending on your location, to the other sierras inland. The highest point is approx. 825 metres.

Few people are seen walking whilst in this area, the many trails and routes provide a web of choices around, along, underneath and atop the Sierra de Crevillente. The foothills provide a tranquil environment which is easy going for even the most leisurely walker.
