Description
Discover one of the most beautiful Berber villages of Bocairent, delve into the Covetes dels Moros and wind your way through the Islamic labyrinth.
Bocairentis one of the most beautiful villages with an authentic flavor of Valencian
Community. Initially, it was built during the Islamic times by the Berber or Amazigh
people followed by several civilizations over time; who left a remarkable heritage with
several monuments, such as, the Moorish caves, the medieval quarter and the excavated
bullring.
We will visit a mountain village perched on the rock, surrounded by the landscape of
the Sierra de Mariola natural park. Its medieval quarter has labyrinthine streets and
houses half-carved into the stone. There we can visit monuments that are rare in others
places, such as the snowfield located in the town, the church of the Asunción, which
has an extraordinary goldsmith's museum, the Plaza de Toros, which dates from 1843
and whose site is excavated in the rock and the most famous monument of the town,
which is the set of caves excavated by the Berbers called 'covetes dels Moros' and
which can be visited inside. We will also get to know the local products with a tasting
of herbero and pericana liqueur and taste the typical tapas, traditionally made by the families of the village.
