Cala dels Testos is a small cove situated in the Costa Blanca coastal town of El Poble Nou de Benitatxell and is considered one of the few natural beaches whose condition has not remained unchanged. You will be amazed to see that it is quite far away from the urban development that you usually find in this area. In fact, its access by "land" is quite difficult, which is probably why the cove still maintains its charm and nature. Now we will tell you more about the route and the access to Cala dels Testos.

The access to Cala dels Testos
To access the cove of testos by land you will have to do a slightly complicated route, not suitable for people with vertigo, as to access it you will have to thaw out on several ropes divided into three sections that you will see after doing a route.
Nowadays, this access is more controlled due to the numerous rescues that have had to be carried out by people who have decided to access the Cala dels Testos without the right footwear or with children without sufficient skills to access it. You should bear in mind that access is complicated, and that you will find ravines and stretches where you will have to descend with the help of ropes and on limestone rock walls that are quite slippery. This stretch to reach the cove is known as the "Barranc de l'infern" (Hell's ravine) and this name gives you an idea of what the access is like. But it's not impossible. If you are in good shape, have good shoes, descent material, etc... you can get there, although we recommend that you think about it a couple of times and that you do it with caution.
