Hike in Cabo de Gata-Níjar Natural Park
Mejor época para visitar
It is best to go early in the morning or late in the afternoon, when the sun is low and not as scorching, and the colors of the cliffs take on a warm hue. Spring and autumn are ideal times for hiking, because you will avoid the summer heat exceeding 35°C.
Consejos para el presupuesto
Entry to the natural park is completely free, you only pay for parking at the trail entrance, usually 5-8 euros per day. Bring water and food supplies from San José, because there are no shops in the trail area, and prices at nearby bars are heavily inflated.
Recomendado para
Trekking enthusiasts, Landscape photographers, Birdwatchers, Seekers of wild, uncrowded beaches

Acerca de
Datos rápidos: El origen volcánico hace que el paisaje de este parque sea especialmente escarpado y pintoresco, con formaciones rocosas únicas y calas escondidas. El parque cuenta con más de 45 kilómetros de costa, con algunas de las playas más vírgenes de Europa y plantas endémicas raras.
Destacados: La Torre de los Alumbres, una antigua torre de vigilancia, ofrece vistas panorámicas sobre impresionantes acantilados rojos que contrastan con aguas turquesas brillantes. Al amanecer, se pueden ver flamencos y otra fauna reunidos en las salinas, creando un espectáculo natural surrealista.
Consejos de expertos
- Wear sturdy trekking shoes, because sections of the trail lead over loose volcanic stones that can easily twist your ankle
- You will take the best photos from the lighthouse at sunset, when the light hits the white salt flats at an angle
- Check the tide schedule before you go, because some beach crossings become impassable at high water
- Avoid high noon, when the temperature on exposed sections can rise by 10 degrees compared to the shade
