El convent d'Aigües Vives, també anomenat Reial Monestir de Santa Maria d'Aigües Vives, és un antic monestir amb orígens que es remunten al segle XIII. L'edifici actual es va construir durant els segles XVI i XVII, amb els corresponents estils, renaixentista i barroc, si bé l'ala nord es va acabar en el segle XVIII. El monestir va pertànyer a l'orde dels agustins, orde que custodiava la imatge de la Mare de Déu d'Aigües Vives, patrona de la ciutat de La Barraca d'Aigües Vives. A mitjan segle XIX, a conseqüència de la desamortització de Mendizábal, els monjos hagueren d'abandonar el cenobi. Aquest va passar a mans dels barons de Casanova, que el destinaren com a habitatge rural. L'any 1977 el monestir fou adquirit i reformat per a destinar-lo a hotel residència per Antonio Vidal Bellver (fotògraf i empresari de Carcaixent). Actualment és propietat d'un empresari hoteler de Gandia. El 2024, la Generalitat Valenciana va instar els nous propietaris a fer obres per a mantenir aquesta obra major que ha patit un deteriorament progressiu com a conseqüència de robatoris, vandalisme i abandonament.

The wonderful setting surrounds a fairytale monastery.

The utmost care with which this ancient monastery is being restored arouses deep admiration and respect.

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.

Impressive facility and fantastic views

The Royal Monastery of Santa Maria de Valldigna was founded by Jaume II the Just on March 15, 1298, who gave the Alfàndec valley to Abbot Bononat de Vila-seca to found a monastery of the order of Cistercian, subsidiary of the monastery of Santes Creus. It was the first monastery of such importance built in the old Kingdom of Valencia, after the Christian conquest. Days after the royal donation, Jaume II, fra Bononat and his retinue gathered at the place of Ràfol (a Christian village in the valley founded after the conquest of Jaume I) to take possession of the territory, plus a mile inland, the castles of Marinyén, Alcalà and the Mondúber tower.

Impressive monastic complex. Free guided tours are offered on Saturday and Sunday mornings.

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.
