The La Cova Negra municipal natural area is located in the municipality of Játiva, province of Valencia. In the Cova Negra is the Middle Paleolithic site in which remains of Homo Neanderthal have appeared. This natural area is located in the narrow valley formed by the Albaida River, as it crosses the reliefs of the Sierra Grossa, at the exit of the so-called Estret de les Aigües. In the widest meander formed by the Albaida River, at the height of Pico del Paller, you can see the Cova Negra, named for the blackish appearance of its walls.

I would suggest this being a good place to plan and start your hikes from. Easy access to the river and points of interest.

One of the ways to cross the river itself. I tried several others in the vicinity which were not suitable as the river flow to high

An important amount of flint tools and other archaeological remains have been found here.

Located next to the Guarner mill, a hydraulic mill to grind wheat and obtain flour. The necessary energy was obtained by partially diverting part of the river bed through a channel, the force of which activated the operation of the mill's gears.
