Top 8 Caves 칼로사 덴 사리아 주변

Great little hidden ascent which feels like it it inside the cliff face. Annoyingly difficult approach path but once you get to the ascent proper the magic begins. NOTE - this is a SAC T4 section of path - nothing technical but still a challenge. I suggest you may like to take gloves for the chains and staples. Gloves are also useful in the tight area where you have to partially crawl through a semi cave. I had a head torch but it was not really necessary. Sticks were a pain and might be best stowed at the start of the ascent. An disposable overbag (I always use a heavy duty dustbin liner) for your rucksack where it is best dragged behind you might also be useful but not 100% necessary. There is one particularly narrow place "a fatmans squeeze" that might give you trouble if your a big person,

About halfway up the narrow road toward Petracos, there's a path leading to one of the Costa Blanca’s hidden gems: the prehistoric rock paintings of Les Coves de Pintures Rupestres de la Sarga de Petracos. These sacred cave sites are over 6,000 years old and are recognised as UNESCO World Heritage. The paintings are protected behind fences but still visible — abstract symbols, anthropomorphic figures, and mysterious shapes left by early Iberian cultures. It’s absolutely worth a stop for a moment of silence and awe — but be warned: the trail isn’t cycling-shoe friendly. You’ll either need cleat covers or the willingness to carry your bike over rocky steps for a short hike. 😅 A unique mix of nature, history, and quiet that most riders simply roll past.

The Forat de Bèrnia is an impressive place in the Sierra de Bèrnia, located in the Valencian Community, Spain. This natural tunnel, about 15 to 20 meters long, crosses the mountain range from north to south. At its widest entrance, it offers panoramic views of Altea, the Serra Gelada and the Mediterranean. The Forat de Bèrnia is presented as a spacious natural shelter that becomes a magnificent viewpoint of the Costa Blanca. The route begins on the north side of the mountain range, which is greener and wetter. As you cross the Forat, you move to the south face, with spectacular views of Altea, Benidorm and Puig Campana. In addition to the Forat, you can also explore the remains of the Bèrnia Fort and enjoy the varied landscapes that the mountains offer. If you decide to do this route, I recommend avoiding weekends and holidays to avoid the crowds and preserve the natural environment. I hope you enjoy this natural wonder! 😊🏞️

Avoid the weekend if possible. The hole is the highlight & of course the entire route.

Always nice to be there!

Avoid going on weekends, because it is excessively crowded. It is very worth visiting this place, one of the best in Alicante.

A windproof jacket is an advantage. It can get very windy around the mountain range.
