The Montgó (753 m) is now considered a nature reserve thanks to its Mediterranean flora and fauna. It has also some interesting caves like La Cova de l'Aigua (Cueva del Agua). The drive over the mountain from Dénia to Javea on highway CV-736 is stunning with amazing views, and there are some great hiking and mountain bike trails. A brochure with route maps and descriptions (in Spanish) can be downloaded here .
Montgó is a mountain in Alicante Province, Spain, which rises to 753 metres (2,470 ft). It is the last spur on the Cordillera Prebética Mountain Range and is located in the Marina Alta region in the north of Alicante between the towns of Dénia and Xàbia. The mountain rises dramatically from the valley floors surrounding it and dominates the skyline for miles around. Its craggy cliffs are home to some of the most unusual flora and fauna in Spain. The mountain is renowned for its rock formations, cliffs, caves and natural harbours. From the Xàbia side Montgó is often said to resemble the head and trunk of an elephant. The mountain can be easily reached by highway CV-736 which links Denia with Xàbia, both of which are accessible via the AP-7 motorway or the N-332 national highway.
