Javea’s Monty the Elephant

Javea is bordered by the Mediterranean Sea and by the Montgo Mountain. The high formation of rocks is similar to a wall that has a protective role over the town. On the other side of the wall, there is another settlement called Denia. Javea’s visitors are spoiled by this contrasting diversity. You can bathe into the sea and improve your tan or you can climb the mountain. No preparations are necessary. You can simply pack some snacks and beverages before you go.

The Montgo Mountain is renowned in Spain, but other people have heard about it too and are now booking Javea rentals so they can hike it for themselves. Besides its numerous hiking trails and natural beauties, a certain particularity tends to be shocking for some individuals. Dubbed as “Monty the Elephant”, this massif looks like the head of an elephant. Among its other curiosities are the old objects found on its areas. Tools that date back into the Stone Age, pottery and ceramics items represent significant historical proofs. Montgo’s highest peak can be reached in about three hours of hiking from the Javea villas. The routes that lead to it are not all the same from difficulty’s point of view. However, if you walk at your own pace and you do not end up hyperventilating, you might find reaching the mountain’s top quite satisfactory. In addition, a little exercise does not hurt anyone.

Only 753 meters (2470 feet) separate you from a striking view and the sight of Ibiza. You might even feel like you are on top of the world for a few moments.
