Cap de l'Horta is a small town in the state of Alicante. It is located on the east coast of Spain. The Mediterranean Sea and the Playa de San Juan beach surround the city. It is one of the most beautiful cities in the state of Alicante. Valencian is the official language of the city. A pleasant change between fields with long city beaches is the rocky coast around Cap de l'Horta, also called Cabo de Huertas. Cap de l'Horta is located between Sant Joan Beach and Albufereta Beach. This stretch of coast allows you to enjoy in peace, away from the busiest beaches. Its uniqueness has made Cap de l'Horta an area of naturist coves. In Cap de l'Horta you will find some ideal coves to enjoy the sea with the greatest tranquility. The clear waters and rocky bottoms are ideal for diving. A walking path winds along the entire headland of the cape, and numerous mini-coves protected from the waves create beautiful swimming spots far from the lively and crowded beaches of San Juan or Postiguet. The coast around the cape offers beautiful views of Alicante and the beach of San Juan. Geologically, Cabo de la Huerta's rocky subsoil consists of yellow sandstone deposited from the continental sea plate 8 million years ago. They contain fossils of sea urchins, mussels, oysters, clams and mantles. The terrace is considered a fossil beach from 100,000 years ago.

The coast around Cap de l'Horta offers beautiful views of Alicante and the beach of San Juan, and the area is dominated by the Far del Cap de l'Horta lighthouse, about 8 meters high. The beautiful setting of wild nature with a lighthouse yet only a stone's throw from the town and public transport attracts walks and sunsets. In Cap de l'Horta you will find some ideal coves to enjoy the sea with the greatest tranquility. The clear waters and rocky bottoms are ideal for diving and being a discreet place many people practice nudism without problems. The urban pressures of the past 30 years saw the Cabo undergo a major transformation. Some areas have partially escaped urbanization. Currently, Cabo de la Huerta has the status of a microflora reserve and is part of the EU's Natura 2000 network. The Cap de l'Horta path can be practiced all year round.

Cap de l'Horta is een klein stadje in de staat Alicante. Het ligt aan de oostkust van Spanje. De Middellandse Zee en het strand Playa de San Juan omringen de stad. Het is één van de mooiste steden in de staat Alicante. Valenciaans is de officiële taal van de stad. Een aangename afwisseling tussen de velden met lange stadsstranden is de rotsachtige kust rond Cap de l'Horta, ook wel Cabo de Huertas genoemd. Cap de l'Horta ligt tussen het strand van Sant Joan en het strand van Albufereta. Dit stuk kust stelt u in staat om te genieten in alle rust, weg van de drukste stranden. Zijn uniekheid heeft van Cap de l'Horta een gebied van naturistenbaaien gemaakt. In Cap de l'Horta vindt u enkele ideale baaien om met de grootste rust van de zee te genieten. Het heldere water en de rotsachtige bodems zijn ideaal om te duiken. Een wandelpad slingert langs de hele kaap van de kaap, en talrijke mini-baaien die beschermd zijn tegen de golven, creëren mooie zwemplekken ver van de levendige en drukke stranden van San Juan of Postiguet. De kust rond de kaap biedt een prachtig uitzicht op Alicante en het strand van San Juan. Geologisch gezien bestaat de rotsachtige ondergrond van Cabo de la Huerta uit geel zandsteen die 8 miljoen jaar geleden is afgezet van de continentaal zeeplaat. Ze bevatten fossielen van zee-egels, mosselen, oesters, kokkels en mantels. Het terras wordt beschouwd als een fossiel strand van 100.000 jaar geleden. De stedelijke druk van de afgelopen 30 jaar zorgde ervoor dat de Cabo onderging een belangrijke transformatie. Sommige gebieden zijn gedeeltelijk ontsnapt aan de verstedelijking. Momenteel heeft Cabo de la Huerta de status van een micro-flora-reservaat en valt onder het Natura 2000-netwerk van de EU.
