Calpe, ES

Castillo del Mascarat

These ruins are the remains of a late 16th-century watchtower built in defense against Barbary pirates. The site is the location of the former 12th-century ''Castell de Calp'', demolished centuries ago. Although there is very little remaining besides the tower base, foundations, and some rock-cut ci

sterns, hikers are rewarded with an excellent view of the Penyal d'Ifac and the surrounding area.
