May 17, 2024,20240517 🇪🇸: Cova Tallada – Cabo San Antonio

We were unable to walk the hiking trail along the Cova Tollada on our last holiday here in September 2021 because you needed a permit back then. Now it is only necessary at certain times. The hike started off quite alpine down to the cave and then long and steep, partly secured with chains, up to the plateau. From there …

The idea was to do a circular route from Cova Tallada to Cap de Sant Antoni, going through the Barranc de la Cova Tallada, and back, but the initial stretch to Cova Tallada did not offer much security to my companion, so I did it alone and returned to go towards Cap by going a little further back. The visit …

There are enough parking spaces at and around the Ca nano Dénia restaurant. The first 30 minutes are relatively easy on the yellow and white path. This runs at a height of about 50 to 80 meters. The descent to the cave is steep, but easy to manage with the help of the steel chains. It is not a natural …

A very beautiful route with wonderful views. It has some very dangerous sections, especially on the descent from Cape San Antonio to Cova Tallada. It's advisable to wear good grip shoes. Not recommended for everyone.

On the third day today's hike had to include the chance of a swim in the sea at the request of a single lady. That's why we chose this tour. Actually, we wanted to visit the Cueva Tallada cave, but unfortunately we didn't know that online registration is now required…. It was still a great tour, varied and with great …

Today we headed to the Cabo de San Antonio Nature Reserve, the coastal extension of the Montgó Natural Park in the Marina Alta region (northern Alicante). We visited Cova Tallada (Carved Cave), an old quarry at sea level. From the 12th to the 18th centuries, stone was extracted from this cave to build Denia Castle and the Church of Xàbia, …
