Mount Benacantil

This mountain dominates Alicante and you can see the 'moor's face' in it when you look from el postiguet beach which is why the moor's face is a popular image in the town. Climbing to the top you'll get great views and a chance to explore the awesome castle.

Centre of town! you'll see it!!
