Mirador del Mascarat
Najbolje vrijeme za posjet
Late afternoon for golden light on the cliffs and Altea's old town, arriving about 90 minutes before sunset. The gorge catches dramatic shadows in the winter months between November and February.
Savjeti za budžet
Free to visit anytime, no ticket required. Park along the roadside pullouts near the overlook rather than paying for the small adjacent lot.

O atrakciji
Brze činjenice: Perched 200 meters above the Mediterranean, this lookout offers a vertigo-inducing view of the razor-sharp Mascarat Gorge. The cliffs here were carved by the Algar River over millions of years, creating a dramatic split in the Sierra de Bernia mountain range.
Istaknuto: At sunset, the apricot-colored houses of Altea's old town seem to glow against the deep blue sea far below. On clear days you can spot the outline of Ibiza on the horizon, a faint purple smudge 100 kilometers across the water.
Insajderski savjeti
- Bring binoculars to scan the cliff faces for nesting peregrine falcons that hunt along the gorge.
- The guardrail-free eastern edge of the lookout gives the best photo angles but watch your footing on loose gravel.
- Stop at the nearby Repsol gas station for surprisingly good local pastries and coffee at half the old town prices.
- Visit on a weekday morning in spring when wildflowers carpet the gorge edges and tourist traffic is minimal.
