Top 5 Caves バニエールデマリオラでの

A very pretty little town. At the beginning of the week in March, it's still very much in its winter slumber. Restaurants are hard to find.

Bocairent is a town full of charm and history. In addition to the Lavadero del Aljub and the Pou Clar, there are many other interesting places to explore: The Caves of the Moors: A set of caves dug into the rock dating back to medieval times. The Medieval Quarter: A labyrinth of narrow, steep streets that transport you to another era. The Bullring: One of the oldest bullrings in Spain, dug into the rock. The Rupestre Monastery: An ancient monastery built into the rock, with stunning views of the valley. Bocairent is also known for its festivities, such as the Fiestas de Moros y Cristianos, which are held in honor of San Blas.

Bocairent has a historic town centre. The streets and facades are incredibly beautiful and retain a medieval feel. It is worth walking through the steep stone streets, past the fountains and the medieval ruins.

The caves were primarily used as grain stores. They have a constant temperature all year round. You can't take your backpack with you because the passages between the individual chambers are very narrow. You have to crawl through, pull yourself up and slide down. You need to be agile and you shouldn't be too broad either.

A very beautiful place, like something out of a medieval film set! A picturesque town nestled in the mountains of the Sierra de Mariola, it is characterized by its well-preserved medieval architecture, winding streets and spectacular views. The origins of Bocairent date back to prehistoric times, as archaeological finds in the area show. During the Moorish rule (8th-13th centuries), Bocairent developed into an important settlement. The Arabs had a strong influence on the townscape. Narrow, winding streets and the terraced landscapes are evidence of this period. The most famous historical feature of Bocairent are the so-called “Covetes dels Moros” - caves of the Moors. These artificial caves, which are located high in a rock face, were probably used as granaries or shelters in the Middle Ages. Their purpose and origin are still not fully understood today, which makes them even more fascinating. Very impressive! It is worth exploring the town!

Be sure to stroll through the narrow streets of the old town. There is also a mini cave system to admire there. If you are coming from below, take the Magic Path.

The Pou or Cava del Canyo is a construction that was used for the manufacture and conservation of ice, collecting and pressing the snow from winter snowfalls. It is estimated that it was built at the end of the 18th century which still preserves the Arabic tile roof. It has a capacity of 770 m3, 9.8 m in diameter and 10.3 m in interior height. It is located at an altitude of 1235 meters above sea level.
