# Keys left in the car after a walk on the Montgó

Back at the car after a walk on the Montgó, keys on the seat and the doors locked. What to try, what not to try, and how to describe where you have parked.

Getting back in · 24 September 2026 · 3 min read

The Montgó rises to 753 metres between Dénia and Xàbia, and it has been a Natural Park since 1987. People walk it all year. And every so often, someone comes back down tired, reaches the car, and sees the key on the passenger seat through a locked door.

## First, check properly

- **Every door and the boot.**

  Cars do not always lock every door, and some boots open separately.
- **The spare.**

  Is anyone at home who could bring it? Often that is quicker than anything else.
- **The key itself.**

  If the car locked on its own with the key inside, some models can be opened with the manufacturer’s app or roadside assistance.

## Tempting, but no

Do not break a window unless someone or something inside is in danger. A window costs more than an opening, and leaves you driving home with the wind in your ear. And do not try coat hangers or wedges on a modern car: the seals and the electrics inside the door are easy to damage.

**If a child or an animal is shut inside in the heat, ring 112 first.** That is an emergency for them, not a locksmith job.

## Describing where you are

Starting points for walks often have no street number, and a place name alone can mean several things. So:

- **Send a WhatsApp location pin**

  from where the car is parked.
- Say which side of the mountain you are on, Dénia or Xàbia side, if you know.
- Mention the car’s make, model and colour.

## Once you have rung

You get a realistic idea of when someone can be there. You will be asked to show the car is yours, with papers and ID; if those are inside, they are checked the moment the door is open. The door is opened without damage, and that is all that is done: opening only, no keys.

## Getting the car open

Vehicle door opening in and around Dénia, what is checked first, and what is never offered.

## Still on the wrong side of the door?

Send a photo of the lock on WhatsApp and say what happens when you turn the key. Most problems can be named before anyone sets off.
