The Mascarat gorge, haunt of highwaymen

The walk into the Mascarat gorge near Calpe on the Costa Blanca is spectacular, with three bridges towering above you. And it used to be the haunt of highwaymen!

The best view on the Costa Blanca? Driving up to Coll de Rates

Coll de Rates is a mountain pass with (I think) the best views on the Costa Blanca. Follow this drive up from the sea with a couple of cool stops en route.
