The Shield of Montgo

One of the most amazing sites is to watch in Javea is to sit in one of the restaurants facing Montgo in the Arenal and to watch a clear sky turn dark. As the clouds approach Javea, they wrap themselves around the shoulders of Montgo like a shawl. When it arrives the rain tends to be fast and heavy, but usually over with within a short period. In winter the clouds can linger a little and release droplets more slowly. However, they dry periods grossly out-weigh the brief spells of wet weather.
