The La Cova Negra municipal natural area is located in the municipality of Játiva, province of Valencia. In the Cova Negra is the Middle Paleolithic site in which remains of Homo Neanderthal have appeared. This natural area is located in the narrow valley formed by the Albaida River, as it crosses the reliefs of the Sierra Grossa, at the exit of the so-called Estret de les Aigües. In the widest meander formed by the Albaida River, at the height of Pico del Paller, you can see the Cova Negra, named for the blackish appearance of its walls.

La Cova Negra is a cavity that is located in a gorge called the Strait of Waters. Its black color is mainly due to the smoke from the bonfires made by its former inhabitants, the Neanderthals who occupied it for a few months of the year. An important amount of flint tools and other archaeological remains have been found here.

The Pont Sec ravine aqueduct, also known as Arcades d'Alboi, is part of the old Canal de Bellús in Xàtiva, a construction of medieval origin that has its origin in the source of Bellús. It traces its route along the Albaida river for ten kilometers and allowed a constant supply of water to the city of Xàtiva.

La Cova Negra is an important archaeological site, located in the widest meander of the Albaida river. It was home to Neanderthal man in the Paleolithic. The cave gets its name from the dark color of the walls. Human remains and paintings have been found inside.

La Cova Negra is an important archaeological site, located in the widest meander of the Albaida river. It was home to Neanderthal man in the Paleolithic. The cave gets its name from the dark color of the walls. Human remains and paintings have been found inside. It is a space of fundamental importance for understanding the culture of the Mosterian and the reality of the Neanderthals. The Almodí Museum exhibits an exact reproduction of a parietal bone from the period, discovered in the cave.

Cave within the natural area of the same name with great historical and landscape value. It is a very nice place with trails that run along the Albaida River. You can get to the foot of the cave.

Old building where a small hydroelectric power station operated at the beginning of the 20th century. Also part of the building is the well-known Molí Guarner that completed the set that produced electricity. Today it is a beautiful recreational area on the banks of the Riu Albaida from where several very picturesque paths can be connected.

In the vicinity of Xàtiva is the Cova Negra, declared a Municipal Natural Area in 2006, an essential visit.
