The Montgó Massif Mountain
The massive Montgó mountain provides a dramatic back-drop to the town of Javea and rises to a height of 753m (2470ft) and, from the top, on a clear day, Ibiza can easily be seen. It can be seen from numerous towns in the regions, including
Javea,
Denia,
Pedreguer,
Jesus Pobre,
Gata de Gorgos and even further afield. There is evidence that the Montgo was occupied by cave dwellers as far back as 30000 years ago as remains of pottery, bones, coins and cave paintings have been found in the area. The Montgo has been designated both a natural park and an area of outstanding natural beauty and offers cyclist, walkers, mountain bikers and hikers both easy and challenging routes to climb. The local people of Javea refer to the Montgo as the ‘Elephant mountain’ because, from the Javea side, it resembles an Elephant’s head and trunk – a cave is the elephant’s eye. The Montgo is responsible for providing Javea with its micro climate, thus providing it with temperate weather conditions throughout the year. Nudging against the Eastern side of the Montgo is La Plana, which can be reached by hiking from the port or the old town of Javea, or by road. La Plana offers amazing panoramic views of Javea bay and the valley and, once up there, you can visit the eleven Molins which were used to grind wheat and cereals for the local people and date back to the 16th century. Also on the La Plana is the Monasterio Nuestra de los Angels and the Cap de San Antonio lighthouse.
