The Cave of Skulls (Cova de les Calaveres in Valencian) is a curious cavern located on the northern slope of Mount Segili, right in the municipality of Benidoleig, Alicante. We can find it next to the road from Pedreguer to Benidoleig.
It is one of the oldest caves in the entire Valencian Community. This cavity of more than 400 meters in length allows the visitor to take a trip back in time and learn how our ancestors lived long ago.

Hiking

Any time of the year is good to visit it, but in summer it is ideal since it maintains a very cool temperature and in 1 hour we can visit the cave quietly, it is an ideal place to visit it with children.

Mountain biking

The start of the climb is demanding and gradually becomes easier. A rocky climb with ruts. A slight descent on stones, an accessible path and a descent on a well-paved road.
