    The sculptures of Mariano Ros in the Cau, sierra del Ferriol. Curious outdoor corner to visit in Elche, very close to the reservoir.

    In the Sierra del Ferriol, in the old quarry where stone was collected for the reconstruction of the Church of Santa María, there is a place called El Cau. In this curious place, we can find numerous sculpted figures that represent the most emblematic monuments of the city of Elche. These figures and many others have been created by Mariano Ros, a former shoemaker who was fond of mountains. Mariano, in the company of his three friends Cándido, Vicente and Pere sculpted figures from the year 2000 to 2008.

      A place lost in the mountains where people have sculpted the most important landmarks of Elche and much more. It's amazing.
      You can go with children.
