Top 20 Natural Monuments around El Verger

The descent from returns the same way back to the Portet d'Ondara. I made the descent eastwards to the old aqueduct path. This is significantly more demanding compared to the ascent via the west side. Slopes/descents of up to approx. 40% are present. The vegetation and the poorly visible yellow trail marking often cause you to pause and look around. Stone towers and GPS help with orientation. Overall, however, progress is slow. The signpost at the bottom of the aqueduct path already gives a hint: 1:10h for approx. 800m of path to the Portet d'Ondara.

The view is worth it. However, in the summer months (when it gets over 30 degrees) it is recommended to ascend only early in the morning, so that you descend again by 11 am. I ascended from the west side (in the shade in the morning). Up to Portet d'Ondara the path is still reasonably recognizable. From there to the summit "Cim de Segària" the path and terrain are difficult to recognize and require sure-footedness. Sturdy mountain boots are helpful due to the rugged terrain and sharp stones. It is also possible with trail running shoes, but they suffer greatly. Up to the summit, you often have to search for the path or yellow markings, which are also completely missing in places. According to the maps, the path is classified as T2 (SAC scale). Due to the poor visibility of the path, rugged and sharp stones, I would tend towards at least T3. In some places, you also have to climb over a few larger stones or make bigger jumps.

Unfortunately, it's no longer a hidden gem. Even now, in February 2026, you can see cars and camper vans parked there. The whole area wasn't particularly inviting for swimming.

This spot, which feeds the Bullent River, is visited by residents of Oliva, visitors from other towns, and even foreign tourists. It is undoubtedly a privileged place worth visiting, especially for its location within the natural park, its proximity to the beach, and its health tourism, as it is an underground source of thermal waters—with a considerable sulfur content—whose waters have traditionally been recognized as beneficial for treating dermatological diseases.

An approximately 1 km long area within the Sierra Segaria, which contains various caves - the Cova Fosca is of course the largest, most famous, and most spectacular!
