ラフェルグアラフの天然記念物・トップ20

The Garrofer spring is a spring where water, coming from the Agulles aquifer, flows happily through two pipes and is channeled to an adjacent washhouse. Despite the warning that the water is not potable (as it is not chlorinated or subject to any health control), thousands of Alzire residents travel up to thirteen kilometers and sometimes form long queues to fill their water jugs.

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.

From the top of La Creu the views are spectacular wherever you look.

La Cova Negra is a cavity that is located in a gorge called the Strait of Waters. Its black color is mainly due to the smoke from the bonfires made by its former inhabitants, the Neanderthals who occupied it for a few months of the year. An important amount of flint tools and other archaeological remains have been found here.

A great hiking area. Check out the area and my hike in the video: https://youtu.be/jKT0SaA3j6g

The cave gets its name from the dark color of the walls. Human remains and paintings have been found inside. It is a space of fundamental importance for understanding the culture of the Mosterian and the reality of the Neanderthals. The Almodí Museum exhibits an exact reproduction of a parietal bone from the period, discovered in the cave.

good views, very narrow and leafy path, despite the shade being in a valley it is quite hot, it is recommended to carry enough water. Almost the entire route is along the bed of a dry river and therefore the stones are very moved and they wobble, you have to be careful. After km 6, when the turn begins and we leave the canyon, the whole route is along a wide forest track without shadows. This route requires effort and good legs because one never tires of climbing.
