The Monte Orgegia is located in what was once the agricultural heartland of Alicante. The decline of traditional farming, replaced by industrial agriculture, along with urban growth, led to the gradual abandonment of old agricultural practices. This area was later reforested by the former ICONA organization, leaving some terraced fields in the valleys.

In March 2006, Monte Orgegia was inaugurated as a forest park, becoming the first project of the Metropolitan Forest Plan for the 21st century in the municipality of Alicante. Reforested with around 20,000 Mediterranean trees and shrubs, the park covers an area of 77 hectares. It includes 3 kilometers of trails and two viewpoints that offer stunning views of the l’Alacantí region and the surrounding mountains. To support wildlife recovery, nesting boxes, water feeders, and stone shelters were installed. A water reservoir with a drip irrigation system was also built to conserve the flora.

Although Alicante is one of the most mountainous provinces in Spain, with rugged terrain, Monte Orgegia has gentle slopes. From one of the viewpoints, visitors can enjoy a panoramic view of the province’s mountainous landscape, with the nearby mountains marking the boundaries of the l’Alacanti region.
