Montgo is a mountain overlooking Denia. From a distance it looks like a sleeping elephant, and is one of the most famous local landmarks. Its very popular for walking, and we have walked most of it. However we had never visited The Eye, a cave which looks like the elephants eye from a distance.
We had always thought you had to use ropes to get there, but when we realised you could walk to it we were very keen to do the walk.

From the car park you can quite clearly see The Eye
Right from the start there was a steep climb

Although the climb is steep, the path is good and no scrambling

This is a good indication of just how steep the final part is

Time to start back down, but that is often harder than climbing
