The El Socavón Mine is a former cinnabar (mercury sulfide) mine located in the municipality of Chóvar, within the Sierra de Espadán Natural Park. Cinnabar is the mineral from which mercury is extracted. These mines were once exploited for their industrial value, as mercury was used to amalgamate gold and silver.

Cinnabar mines. An example of the importance of the metallurgical activity that took place in the Sierra Espadán are the remains of the currently abandoned Hembral mining complex, where, among other things, remains of the El Socavón mine can be seen, consisting of the landfill and the engine, rails, wagons and the cavity, which is currently closed due to its potential danger.

The Castro Castle, an Arab fortress with an impressive watchtower at a height of about 780 m, was a fundamental bastion of the Moorish resistance at the time of their expulsion. It was taken by the Duke of Segorbe and General Cavanilles after the Castillo de Aín had also fallen. It was also used in the Carlist Wars. The castle covers an area of about 2,000 m2, where two parts can be distinguished: the "Albacar", a fortified refuge for the inhabitants of the towns dependent on the fortress; and on the other side, the castle itself, which presided surrounded by a large keep that was demolished in 1938 during the Civil War.
