Views from the Montgó

The views from the summit of the Montgó towards the bay of Jávea are impressive, they are stunning views of the entire Marina Alta.

The Montgo was declared a Natural Park in 1987 and there are several marked trails follow across this natural landscape.

The photo shows a view of Jávea, an incredible panoramic view that one must see in person, but in order to do so one has to take the path that leads to the top. The Town Hall  of Jávea organizes free guided tours to the top of Montgó.

Make sure you don´t forget the camera as you will definitely want to take home a souvenir of these magnificent views that stretch all the way to  the island of Ibiza, and across to Cabo de San Antonio and to Cap Prim.
