Very nicely laid out, with a table and benches in the shade of the trees. Water trickles out of a fountain, very idyllic, a very beautiful, peaceful place. An oasis of calm!

Natural pass in the Serra de Benicadell that connects Salem with Beniarres. It could also be done by road, through the Coll del Raconet or also called Puerto de Salem. The views of Pico Benicadell from this point are extraordinary.
