“Les Pesqueres” scenic viewpoint looks upon a small universe of place names inspired by the fishing activities which the men from Xàbia and the neighbouring towns carried out in the vertical walls of its cliffs, in spite of the obvious difficulties which can be easily perceived from the viewpoint. On the crags or on top of fragile thatched mats, the men established their positions to fish, especially in the long dark nights of winter.

Another coastal defence was erected in “Punta d´Ambolo”, also known as the “Torre del Descubridor” (Discoverer’s Tower), with a single floor and two sentry boxes which have now disappeared. Its splendid location allows the view to travel from “Cabo de la Nao” up to the “Punta de Moraira”.

The salt pans are a unique enclave with great biological and landscape richness. In the 1980s it was abandoned and became the particular paradise of many species of birds.   A new modality of ecotourism was born in Calp, motivated by the study and observation of birds and their habitats, ornithological tourism or birdwatching. A total of 173 species of registered birds shows us the importance of this wetland. Emphasize the populations of common flamingo (Phoenicopterus ruber) that reaches several hundred specimens and the common stilt (Himantopus himantopus). In addition, specimens of Gray Heron, Black-rumped Plover, European Rail and Common Coot have been recorded, including some species in delicate situations such as the Marbled Teal or the White Jar. Of all these birds that can be seen in the salt flats, there is no doubt that the most spectacular and striking is the common flamenco. This bird, with a wingspan of up to 170 cm and a length of 140 cm surprises with its strange silhouette and very long neck. Another singular resident of the salt mines is the common stilt, unmistakable for its long red tarsi, its peak reaching 7 cm. and its contrasted black and white plumage.   The common stilt is a frequent bird in the salinas.
