Gata de Gorgos owes its name to the river (bed) the Gorgos that runs through the village. This river flows into the Mediterranean Sea at Jávea. The village is located at approximately 75m above sea level and has over 6000 inhabitants who mainly speak Spanish and Valencian. From the 16th to the 18th century, agriculture was the most important source of income for the village. The most important things that were grown during this time were: wheat, (wine) grapes, cane, olives, barley, almonds and, for example, grapes for raisins. Until the middle of the 20th century, agriculture was the most important financial sector for Gata de Gorgos. Due to the deterioration of the quality of the soil, but especially due to the demand for (second) homes on the coast, the former agricultural land has now been built on in many places by, among other things, urbanisation and tourism has become an important source of income. Gata de Gorgos has a very charming centre that is definitely worth a visit. Those looking for products made of reed will find what they are looking for here. The place is known for its handmade articles (artesanías) made of reed (hats, baskets and the like). The shops that sell these products have earned Gata de Gorgos its nickname ‘Bazaar of the Costa Blanca’.

Feasible passages, with MTB S0-S1, can also be mastered with a touring bike. Beautiful landscape.

interesting city in the Spanish hinterland

Parking in the vicinity of the starting point costs €12 (camera surveillance). Camping Dreamsea has a beautiful terrace with a beautiful view over the bay.

A very beautiful and varied hike, partly through a valley, partly at altitude. You have to walk about 500 m along a creek bed, which is quite doable, as the creek rarely has water. You should be sure-footed, but I had no problems with my fear of heights on this hike.
