La Canuta: Coast, Viewpoints and History

La Canuta first draws attention to Playa Puerto Blanco. The small pebble and sand beach lies next to the former Puerto Blanco marina. Its calm waters feature Posidonia vegetation; at 100 metres long and 10 metres wide, its dimensions are precisely stated.

Anyone considering a holiday apartment in La Canuta can view travel dates, accommodation category and cancellation conditions side by side on the listing pages. This makes it possible to consider their own requirements for the period and the desired type of accommodation separately from the coastal, natural and cultural topics relevant to planning the content of the stay.

Coast

The official Calp visitor map lists La Canuta, Canuta Baja, Canuta de Ifach, Puerto Blanco, Playa Puerto Blanco and Cala Les Urques. The broader coastal landscape includes several beaches in the vicinity of La Canuta: Benissa Playa is located there, as are Playa La Galera and Platja de l'Albir. Benissa Playa and Playa La Galera are each classified as beaches; Platja de l'Albir is also a beach.

For further travel planning, the topics described can be clearly separated: the coast and maritime activities represent a different focus from viewpoints and peaks; museums, the fortress and the remains of Castellet de Calp lead into history. This comparison helps determine whether the stay should be shaped primarily by the water, landscape impressions or historical sites. It is also possible to vary the emphasis among these three areas without forcing the individual destinations into a single category.

Nature

The Mirador Monte Toix viewpoint is located in the immediate vicinity of La Canuta. The network of paths to the Mirador de Toix can be reached from Puerto Blanco via Maryvilla. From Castellet de Calp, the Mirador de Toix can be reached on foot in approximately 10 minutes. The different references to locations and the approximate walking time provide the landscape with a clearly differentiated spatial orientation.

Penyes del Portixol, a peak, is also located in the vicinity of La Canuta. Together with the viewpoints and the network of paths, it forms a natural theme expressed both in short stretches of trail and in distinctive terrain features.

Culture and History

The Sala de Exposiciones Ajuntament Vell museum is located in the immediate vicinity of La Canuta. The Museo al Aire Libre Villa Romana de l'Albir museum is also located in the surrounding area. Another historical destination in the vicinity of La Canuta is Castillo Moraira fortress.

Castellet de Calp preserves the remains of a watchtower built in the late 16th century. This watchtower was built on the site of the former Castell de Calp. The surviving remains also include part of the wall foundation and cisterns carved into the rock.

The boundaries of the area are defined on one side by the sea and on the other by the path to the castle of Calp.

Water and Maritime Experiences

Port Blanc is home to an international diving centre called España bajo el mar.
