The mountain vegetation has occupied the terraces where vineyards, fig, almond and carob trees were previously cultivated, a vestige of the Montgó Agricultural Colony.
In spring, flowers carpet the land, highlighting the Montgó’s biodiversity with more than 650 species of plants.
Magnificent mountain views over Dénia and the castle, the Segaria mountain range and the coastline of the Gulf of Valencia. On clear days you can see over the horizon of the sea the mountains of Ibiza, even Mallorca.
