Beautifully developed gorge. The GR7 hiking trail goes through here.

The Barranco del Cint, an impressive corner in the city of Alcoy, is part of the majestic Sierra de Mariola. It is located northwest of Alcoy and has a peculiar V shape at its entrance, which some believe gave it its name.

"La Cava Gran de Agres" is a historic snow storage facility that once served as a refrigerator for storing snow, which was later used as ice. In winter, snow was filled into the pit and compacted to be used as blocks of ice. The upper arches supported a roof that protected the snow from the sun. In summer, the stored snow was cut into blocks and transported to the cities by pack animals. Ice was of great importance at that time for preserving food and for medicinal purposes. The architecture of the Cava is characterized by massive stone walls and a domed roof, parts of which are now in ruins. The building is an important testament to the traditional methods of preservation and logistics in the region.

Top of Montcabrer. Amazing views.

The Font Mariola recreational area is a very nice place to stop along the way. There is a picnic area, as well as picnic areas and a water fountain. If you want to be sure before drinking, I recommend using water purification tablets or a water filter. From here begins the route up to the Montcabrer refuge, at 1,230 meters above sea level.

This impressive ravine is located in the Sierra de Mariola, which culminates at an altitude of 1,390 meters at the top of Montcabrer. The gorge is surrounded by very high limestone walls that reach 200 meters. It is not surprising that climbing lovers come here in search of adrenaline and heart-stopping views.
