The Hermitage of the Holy Christ of Bocairent is one of the most emblematic and spiritual places in the municipality, both for its history and its privileged location. Built in the 16th century, the hermitage is located atop a mountain north of the town. According to local legend, travelers—believed to be angels sent by God—indicated the exact spot where the cult building was to be built. Before this revelation, locals had seen three mysterious lights symbolizing the three crosses of Mount Calvary.

This is where the Clariano river rises in the Sierra de l'Ombria and the natural pools have created a unique landscape. The geology of the area has created these round bodies of water over time and each has its own name. There are Pou dels Esclaus, Pou Clar, Pou Gelat, Pou de la Reixa, Pou Fosc and Pou dels Cavalls. In the winter months, the small car park by the bridge is open. From there, a staircase leads directly to the first pool.
