EYE OF MONTGO


This challenging walk has many interesting features. The start with 1 ¼ km walk on lovely path beside the sea to cave down at water level (side trip down and/or view through hole from top). This is followed by a grueling walk up steep, good paths, then an easy flat stroll across the Plana to the remains of eleven windmills, previously used to grind wheat. An optional return path follows, but the best part of the walk and its’ major raison d’être would be missed if you don’t continue to the Eye of Montgo, quite a strenuous climb but worth the trouble.
DISTANCE 14km – WALKING TIME 4hrs - ASCENT 500 mtrs - GRADE S

The return path passes the Torre de Gerro before returning to your seaside parking and close by bars.
