Top 11 Caves サグラでの

Great little hidden ascent which feels like it it inside the cliff face. Annoyingly difficult approach path but once you get to the ascent proper the magic begins. NOTE - this is a SAC T4 section of path - nothing technical but still a challenge. I suggest you may like to take gloves for the chains and staples. Gloves are also useful in the tight area where you have to partially crawl through a semi cave. I had a head torch but it was not really necessary. Sticks were a pain and might be best stowed at the start of the ascent. An disposable overbag (I always use a heavy duty dustbin liner) for your rucksack where it is best dragged behind you might also be useful but not 100% necessary. There is one particularly narrow place "a fatmans squeeze" that might give you trouble if your a big person,

An approximately 1 km long area within the Sierra Segaria, which contains various caves - the Cova Fosca is of course the largest, most famous, and most spectacular!

About halfway up the narrow road toward Petracos, there's a path leading to one of the Costa Blanca’s hidden gems: the prehistoric rock paintings of Les Coves de Pintures Rupestres de la Sarga de Petracos. These sacred cave sites are over 6,000 years old and are recognised as UNESCO World Heritage. The paintings are protected behind fences but still visible — abstract symbols, anthropomorphic figures, and mysterious shapes left by early Iberian cultures. It’s absolutely worth a stop for a moment of silence and awe — but be warned: the trail isn’t cycling-shoe friendly. You’ll either need cleat covers or the willingness to carry your bike over rocky steps for a short hike. 😅 A unique mix of nature, history, and quiet that most riders simply roll past.

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.

Medium difficulty is an understatement! We are in good shape and really fit, but this tour was difficult. Partly there were no paths, it was more of a climbing tour on the mountainside. Good shoes and a head for heights are a must!

Beautiful tour, worth visiting for sure!
