The views from this point on the Montnegre road will not leave you indifferent. From here you can see a good part of the valley flanked by peaks and limestone slopes dotted with the greenery of the vegetation.

Beautiful views of the valley and the mountain slopes! The Montnegre Valley lies inland from Alicante, between Xixona, Muchamiel, Tibi, and San Vicente del Raspeig. It is crossed by the Río Monnegre and is characterized by arid Mediterranean landscapes with gorges, pine forests, and ancient terraced fields. A varied route leads along the Carretera de Montnegre near the Molí de Capeta, a historic watermill. There, cycling through quiet roads, narrow gorges, Mediterranean vegetation, and expansive vistas awaits you – a blend of nature, cultural history, and scenic diversity, today a popular destination for quiet active tourism away from the coast.
