The lighthouse on the top of the cliff at the entrance to the Albir Bay in the Sierra Helada National Park was built in 1863 in connection with the Torre Bombarda guard tower previously used in the defence against pirates. Now it's a great goal for a hike. From the lighthouse (El Faro de Punta Albir) you have views to Altea Bay (Bahía Alteana) and Calpeklippen (El Penyón de Ifach) off the coastal town of Calpe a few miles further northeast and of course to the coastline south
