ONE IN six visitors to the Cova Tallada cave in summer failed to book their place and buy a ticket – despite knowing they could be fined, according to its management.
The grotto in the sea at the foot of the Montgó mountain on the Dénia-Jávea border is so popular in summer with kayakers, snorkellers and swimmers that the regional government has had to set a daily limit of 482 visitors, given that it is based in the Cabo de San Antonio marine reserve and huge crowds put the endangered aquatic fauna at risk.
