Just found this place

 

On the seashore at Calpe, Spain, there is a large peak called the  Peñón de Ifach (alternatively, the Penyal d'Ifac). It's basically a large rock outcropping, made of limestone.  I have a decent memory for landmarks like this, so I was somewhat surprised I had never seen or heard of it before.

Wondering where it is?  As I do for lighthouses, here's a link to a map of the location. You have to zoom out a bit to see that it's between Murcia and Valencia, and not too far from Benidorm, a popular Spanish beach town.

It looks a lot different on one side compared to the other (which is the more popular view from Calpe and the beach). 











The peninsula that the rock sits on is a small national park. Here's a page about it.
