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.

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