Description

A full loop of Montgo mountain in Denia. It's a rocky route which demands your respect as so you do not twist an ankle. At the top on a clear day you can see Ibiza and have full 360° panoramic views of the ocean and Mountains, also you can look down over the town of Denia. It's a beautiful route. The Montgó is an extension of the Betic mountain ranges, the mountain system that runs through the south-southeast of the Iberian Peninsula. This mountain is one of its last vestiges before dying in the sea and reappearing in the Balearic Islands: the Betic mountains submerge with the end of the Montgó and continue along the seabed to Ibiza and Formentera. The Montgó massif has always been a natural lighthouse for sailors, due to its height and its proximity to the sea. The importance of the Natural Park lies in the great wealth of flora and fauna that it houses in a very small area.
