Casas del Señor: Monte Coto, Trails and Culture

In Casas del Señor, nature, trails and local architectural history stand alongside one another as distinct themes. The individual focal points provide a clear basis for organising travel planning around landscape, activity, culture and events. Anyone wishing to combine days in nature with a specific trail, a building and local events identified by date will find different points of reference for this in Casas del Señor: Monte Coto, PR-CV 166, the Ermita and the August festivities or the announced Mostra.

Nature

Monte Coto features rugged terrain with steep slopes and reaches an elevation of 997 metres in the upper course of the Barranco de Caseta. On 23 March 2007, Monte Coto was designated a municipal natural area; it covers approximately 763 hectares within the municipality of Monóvar. The natural area is home to a diverse range of animal and plant life, with more than 100 bird species, including golden eagles, and approximately 700 plant species.

The elevation, terrain description and area measurement provide different points of reference for personally planning days in nature and hiking days.
