Lying to the south of the beautiful Mt. Montgo, the 5km Cova Ampla walk boasts gorgeous views of pine forests and landmarks such as Calpe's Peñón de Ifach and Cabo de la Nao's lighthouse. Starting at Camp de Tiro “Les Planes” and culminating in the 'Eye of Montgo' cavern, the trail features steep and rocky paths, making it perfect for the experienced hiker.

Sitting atop the Tossal de Santa Llucía hill, this circular walk is the most popular hike Javea offers. On clear days, Ibiza can be spotted on the horizon to the east, along with the nearby mountain of Montgó to the north-west.

The Valley of the Ancient Olive Tree Walk is a delightful trail that begins at the 14th century chapel of Popúl and passes the 900 year-old olive tree, Olivera Milenaria, planted by the Arabs who once dwelled there.
