El Montgó
Impressive limy clump of 753 m of altitude placed between Dénia and Jávea's plains. It connects with the End of San Antonio across the high platform of Them Plans. The flora is very rich, with more than 600 species between which it is numerous endemismos. The Center of Torrequemada's Information helps to know the high environmental value of the park. The ascension to the summit of the Montgó, from where it is easy to spy the island of Ibiza, is a very advisable excursion. Also it is possible to to visit a village that this near Alicante called Xàbia where from the top of the Montgó can be observed very nice landscapes as which it is in the photo.
Elche
by marisa81
Elche is a small city just outside of Alicante.
You can get there by train (it is 30 min away), and its not too expensive. It is a nice day trip.
Elche has over 200,000 palm trees. It is amazing.
There are beautiful parks and gardens. We also went to some old arabic baths located in the basement of this building, which were pretty cool.
There isn't too much to do in this town, but it gorgeus and worth the train ride, if you have the time.
LA SIDRERIA in Denia.
by danielle72 about LA SIDRERIA in Denia.
It is good and cheap here. You can sit outside and burn to a crisp (like i did!). The staff speak minimal english, but understand hand gestures very well! The little taters with cabrales cheese melted all over them.
Hiking Agost - Puerto del Maigmó (Alicante)
by Christina1881
22 kilometres long walk from Agost to el Puerto de Maigmó, easy level - tunels on the path so good idea to bring an electric torch (sorry - don't know what a little lamp/light that you have in your hand is called!)
The area is full of mountains and although it is not a flowering natureside, the area is quite dry - but still it is a beautiful route to hike on, and the tunels - that was built for a train that never ran here - makes it more interesting when entering in the total darkness!
THE OLD TOWN
by Hosell
Where are located the Cathedral and the town hall,is the area called Alicante's Old Town.Here you'll see a lot of narrow streets,mostly of them were closed by building works,it seems that Alicante will have a small subway system very soon.
Anyway is a very nice place to walk and see all these narrow streets and houses,also you'll find here many bars and shops.
Passing through that passage on the picture you will reach the Old Town .
