The view back to Penyal d'Ifac from the clifftop path to Puerto Blanco and our lunchtime destination. HWW to everyone. Enjoy the day.

Another view of Penyal d'Ifac! This time an afternoon shot from across the bay on the Mirador Morro de Toix. It's at a similar elevation as the rock (300m vs 332m) but much less strenuous to reach because there is a road to within about half a kilometre of the top... The headland in the far distance is the Cap d'Or overlooking Moraira 20 km away. HFF to everyone. Have a great weekend.

It was a beautiful day when I climbed Penyal d'Ifac - the Phoenician's Northern Rock to Gibraltar's Southern Rock. This is looking north towards Cap d'Or & Moraira in the right distance. The track winds around the mountainside from the notch - a third of the way down the slope - partially built up with drystone walling. Just visible are the chains fastened to the rock to hold onto in those areas without the support underfoot. It's not a really difficult climb but you have to watch your step in these areas. It's well worth the effort when you reach the 332m summit - or as my iPhone has it: 67 "flights of stairs"!

I have photographed sunrises & sunsets over Penyal d'Ifac - the Phoenicians' Northern Rock (Gibraltar is the Southern Rock) - many times but I finally made the effort to climb it last Friday. An early start meant that I got to see the Rock silhouetted against the pre-dawn sky from the beach front. HBM to everyone. Enjoy the start to the new week.

What a sky! The Penyal d'Ifac bathed in the sunset light. It was known as the Northern Rock to the Phoenicians, the Southern Rock was Gibraltar.
