For those looking for something more than sun and beach on the Costa Blanca, this route is a marvel and one of the best known in the area.
One of the ideal plans in summer is to get up early, reach the summit and see the sunrise of the Mediterranean with the Peñón de Ifach in the background; and of course, after the effort, a well-deserved swim in the spectacular waters of Playa del Portet and a good breakfast by the sea. Can you ask for more?
Now a bit of your story:
The 11-metre-high tower dates from the 16th century, and stands at the very peak of Cap d‘Or.
Its task was, along with the neighbouring towers in Calpe and Jávea, to keep watch over the coastline and warn of potential enemy attacks.
The intriguing route offers different views of the curious tower, seen alongside a clifftop from below which gives it a more imposing air, while once one has reached the summit it seems rather more staid.
The whole construction is solid stone, and it also has the peculiarity of lacking an entrance door, as it was entered using rope ladders. Inside there is one single vaulted room which housed the lookouts.

Being one of the great mountains on the Costa Blanca, the Montgó Natural Park is emerging as one of the most special, since at its foot it includes not only the two charming towns of Jávea and Dénia, but, in its marine part, treasures the spectacular Cabo de San Antonio Marine Reserve.
Labyrinthine, games of light and shadow, corners with mystery where vibrant color beats and its own, but above all, original frames of the Mediterranean.
June holidays are coming up and you still don't know what to do? Take the opportunity to visit the wonderful views of the Costa Blanca. You will have time to enjoy its impressive views from the sea, as well as from the mountains.
