Where can I see a map of the Serra d'Irta?

The natural park runs from Cala Mundina, in Alcossebre, where the Malentivet ravine reaches the sea, to Cala del Volante, in Peñíscola.

Nine regulated car parks with about 91 spaces in total, from 3 to 17 spaces each. In summer they must be booked in the GVA Parcs Naturals app.

Coordinates from OpenStreetMap, rounded. Parking spaces according to the Generalitat Valenciana. Cala Ribamar and Cala Petxina don't have a reliable position in OpenStreetMap, so they don't appear on the map. You'll find a description of each cove in the coves guide and the most popular one in Cala Mundina.

How to use this map to plan your visit

If you're driving in summer, check which regulated car park is next to your cove and book it in advance: we explain it in access, booking and parking.
If you're walking from Alcossebre, everything starts at the lighthouse: Cala Mundina is right below it, and the coastal path continues towards Serradal and Cala Cubanita.
If you're cycling, the Ruta del Cranc links the lighthouse with Cala del Volante and Cala de l'Arjub along the coastal track. You'll find the distances in the park's routes.

Where Marcomar is on the map

The Marcomar apartments, on the Marcolina estate, are about 400 m as the crow flies from Cala Blanca and less than 1 km from the lighthouse, at the foot of the hills. It's the base we suggest for walking into the park: see where to stay in the Serra d'Irta.
