Experience the Costa Blanca at its quietest and most magical time of day on The Shepherd's Dawn Walk.
Meet your guides and their friendly and mischievous pygmy goat herd at the Coll de Rates mountain pass before sunrise. As the first light begins to appear, set off on a gentle family-friendly walk along a wide mountain road with beautiful views across the surrounding valleys and peaks.
The goats walk freely as a herd, stopping to browse, explore and interact naturally with their surroundings. Their curious personalities make this experience especially popular with children, photographers and animal lovers.
After a relaxed walk, arrive at an easterly-facing viewpoint overlooking the Costa Blanca mountains. As the sun rises and the landscape gradually comes to life, enjoy fresh coffee, tea and croissants while taking in the peaceful atmosphere. On some mornings, low cloud fills the valleys below, creating the unforgettable feeling of standing above a sea of clouds.
One of the unique advantages of this experience is that the viewpoint can also be reached by vehicle, making it suitable for many multi-generational families travelling together. Guests can enjoy the sunrise at their own pace while remaining close to the group and the goats.
After breakfast, enjoy a gentle return walk to the car park, finishing the experience before the summer heat arrives.
The Shepherd's Dawn Walk is ideal for families, grandparents, photographers, nature lovers and anyone seeking a peaceful outdoor experience on the Costa Blanca. It is more than a goat walk — it is a chance to share a memorable sunrise with a charming herd of pygmy goats in the beautiful mountains above the Mediterranean.
