If this is the first time that you have accessed this page, then you might like to take a look at the instructions on how to use the panoramic images. The panoramas are stand-alone self-displaying programme files and you will see an on-screen warning when you access them. If you're one of those rough and tough seasoned Internet users who is never phased by this sort of thing, then this opening paragraph is a complete waste of time!

Enjoy!

My villa has a spectacular view of Mount Mondúver to the rear of the property. One afternoon I grabbed a series of photos and made them into the view that you can see by clicking on the green icon (right).

Both Barx and La Drova are nestled in a valley between two mountain ranges ("sierras"). This is a panorama of Buixcarro ...the mountain range to the southwest of the valley.

To get to the valley from the nearby city of Gandía it is necessary to drive up a gently curving road that takes you above the summits of the smaller mountains that terminate in the flat coastal plain that gives the area its name (Orange Blossom Coast). Just before the road levels off there's a sort of car park and you can look out over these mountains. This is where I took the photos that make up this panorama

Mondúver is not simply the name of the mountain immediately behind my villa ...it also gives its name to the other mountain range to the northwest of the valley and this is the panorama of that mountain range.

If you drive through Barx and follow signs for Simat you will begin a descent towards this town (with its ruined monastery). Shortly after you begin this downward journey you will come to a viewing point that is a must for people who take holiday snaps. There's an awful lot to get in one photo and I doubt that a wide-angle lens would do the view justice. A video camera would be best ...or several photos joined together. By now, you know where to click!
