Calpe from Viewpoint

by rachel_sun

AS we left Calpe on the road to Altea we saw a sign with a camera on it indicating a viewpoint.So we drove up a road that led us through some beautiful villas .It took about 10 minutes and we reached the top and found a car park and a picnic area.We parked up and saw a hill with pine trees and a road and a walk sign.Im pretty certain this area was called Cape Morro de Toix.It was a sunny late afternoon and we decided to walk up and see the views.The road wound round through trees and there were some beautiful wild flowers in bloom and some broom in bloom too.
It took about 15 minutes to find the first viewpoint and it was worth the walk.We had impressive views of all of Calpe and its beautiful rock.It started spitting with rain but the pine trees gave us shelter and we kept going.We passed several hikers and other people enjoying the late afternoon sun.We walked about another 10 minutes and found another viewpoint with stunning views and it was then just starting to get dark and it looked really pretty.
