We say goodbye to El Campello with our eyes set on Cabo de las Huertas and eager to reach Santa Bárbara Castle in Alicante, one of the largest medieval fortresses in Spain. 

We will embark from Carrer del Mar beach with calm waters and with a warm sun that will say good morning. 18 kilometres of paddling await. 

At 1.3 kilometres from our starting point, and after three breakwaters, we find the small Cap Blau and the mouth of the river Sec. 

After skirting the small cape of crystal-clear waters, we arrive at the Racó de la Zofra, a unique point of the extensive Muchavista beach where we can see small boats resting on the shore. Guided at all times by the Cabo de las Huertas Lighthouse, seven kilometres of sandy beaches await us, until we reach the rocky bottoms, beaches and capes of the cape. 

Our landscape changes completely, going from sandy beaches to rocky coves sculpted by the sea and the wind, as if it were a lunar landscape. All under the watchful eye of the lighthouse. The bays of La Palmera, Cantalar and Los Judíoswill lead us to the beaches of Almadraba and La Albufereta, separated by the dock of the Alicante Costa Blanca Sailing Club. 

From there we can make out Santa Bárbara Castle that protects the entire bay and the city of Alicante. An interesting visit for the afternoon of our arrival. 

After passing the Costa Blanca Sailing Club, we can stop on land to visit and discover the Roman Fish Nursery, which will take your breath away. 

We will continue our trip, passing through the beach of La Albufereta and protected by the north winds by the Serra Grossa or San Julián de Alicante mountains, a small mountain just over150 metres highin the northwest of the city. Separates  the centre of the coastal neighbourhoods from La Albufereta and el Cabo de las Huertas.   

Wehug the coast for no more than 2 kilometres until we reach the Royal Yachting Club of Alicante, near our landing point, Postiguet beach, which will become the end of today's stage.
